During this period, 16 new dengue fever outbreaks were

Dengue fever cases have been identified across 29 districts,
with several areas, including Dan Phuong, Ha Dong, Hoang Mai, Hai Ba Trung,
Phuc Tho, Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem, and Cau Giay, reporting a higher number of
patients.
Since the start of the year, more than 2,500 dengue cases
have been recorded in Hanoi, with no fatalities.
Hanoi CDC has noted that the current hot and rainy weather
conditions are ideal for the breeding of mosquitoes that spread the disease.
Dengue cases are on the rise, with some outbreaks persisting and new patients
continuing to be reported.
Monitoring of certain outbreak areas has shown that the
insect index exceeds the risk threshold, suggesting that the number of cases
may continue to increase in the coming period.
Over the past week, local authorities in Hanoi have
conducted 18 environmental sanitation campaigns, inspecting more than 136,000
households and 731 public areas, including schools, and eliminating nearly
20,000 water containers with mosquito larvae.
As for hand-foot-and-mouth disease, most cases are sporadic,
with no complex outbreaks recorded. However, the number of cases may increase
as preschools and primary schools reopen.
Hanoi will continue to closely monitor and detect infectious
disease cases in the community and medical facilities, allowing for timely
investigation and response to cases and outbreaks.
