KOTA BHARU: Kelantan recorded a 93.8 per cent drop in the number of dengue cases so far this year compared to the corresponding period in 2020, but many mosquito-breeding places still abound in every district of the state, said Kelantan Director of Health Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin.
He said 92 cases were detected during the period this year compared to 1,483 last year, but no deaths from the disease were recorded in both years.
“This year, since January, four dengue outbreaks were reported in Kelantan compared to 139 in the corresponding period in 2020. Currently, there is no active outbreak in Kelantan,” he said in a statement today.
