28 active cases of dengue have been detected in Rodrigues. Information provided by the Ministry of Health, this Monday afternoon, June 19. Other cases are awaiting results.


A reminder that another team of eleven people from the health inspectorate of the Ministry of Health went to Rodrigues on Sunday June 18 to support the Rodriguan team on “public health measures”. Mosquito control equipment will be sent to Rodrigues.

The Mauritian authorities are working in collaboration with the Health Commission in Rodrigues. Meetings are organized every day on the island surrounding the "testing" plan.

In Mauritius, a case was detected in the Port-Louis region. Mosquitoes are proliferating even in this winter period, underlines Health.

Thus, the ministry appeals to the population to take measures to protect themselves against mosquitoes. It is especially necessary to wear long clothes, covering the arms and legs, to clean the courtyard of your house, among others.

Dengue fever cases on the rise in Mauritius

JUNE 22, 2023

Dengue is gaining ground in Mauritius. From one active case recorded on Monday, this figure rose to eleven cases this Thursday, June 22.

There are also 25 people infected in Rodrigues.

The Ministry of Health claims to have “raised vigilance”. Contact tracing and fumigation exercises are underway in the affected areas, in particular in the capital, the South and in Flacq.

Is the fear of an epidemic very real and should we be concerned about the increase in the number of dengue fever cases in Mauritius?

At the Ministry of Health, we speak of an “outbreak” in other words, of an epidemic and the authorities say they are doing everything possible to avoid contagion.

If the first imported case had been reported in the Baie-du-Tombeau region, other places would be affected this Thursday. Among the southern region and Flacq, but these two patients work in Port-Louis.

Without specifying the affected areas, the authorities explain that as soon as a case is confirmed, a contact tracing exercise is launched and, at the same time, a mosquito control operation around the home of the infected patient(s).

This eliminates potentially infected adult mosquitoes and eliminates stagnant water to limit the proliferation of mosquitoes in the area concerned.

As a reminder, most people with dengue fever present, in the 4 to 7 days on average following the mosquito bite, several symptoms including high fever, muscle and joint pain, headaches, rashes and sometimes nausea and vomiting.

These symptoms can last from a few days to three weeks.
