SINGAPORE: Dengue cases have spiked over the past two weeks, with 400 cases reported last week, up from 371 cases in the week before that, said the National Environment Agency on Tuesday .

According to NEA, the increase in circulation of the dengue-3 serotype, the high Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and the current high number of dengue cases could cause the number of reported cases weekly to rise above current levels in 2020., including at the large clusters of Jalan Bangau near Yio Chu Kang, Cashew Road in Bukit Panjang and Jaland Paras in Chai Chee.

Project Wolbachia entered its fourth phase in November 2019, expanding trials to 284 residential blocks at Tampines West and Nee Soon East.
