Fifty more dengue fever cases were recorded in Malaysia from Nov 16-22 bringing the total to 1,121.
No death was recorded, Health Ministry disease control director Datuk Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman said in a statement today.More cases were recorded in Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Negri Sembilan, Johor, Terengganu and Sarawak.Dr Hasan said the rise in dengue cases was due to lack of efforts to destroy mosquito breeding grounds.Inspections by local authorities found that 79 per cent of the premises breeding mosquitoes were houses or shophouses.
Some 1,766 compound fines amounted RM61,300 and 447 clean-up notices were issued last week.There were 1,071 dengue fever cases recorded the previous week including two deaths.
