Rio de Janeiro has declared a public health emergency due to the spread of dengue fever
Authorities in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro have declared a public health emergency in an attempt to contain the spread of dengue fever, the BBC reports.
The number of cases of the mosquito-borne disease in Brazil quadrupled in January compared to the same month last year.
Rio de Janeiro has recorded 10,000 cases this year, up from 23,000 in 2023.
Dengue can cause fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and rashes.
Rio City Hall announced it would open 10 treatment centers for dengue patients.
The city's health minister, Daniel Sorans, said the goal is to reduce the number of serious cases and deaths caused by the infection.
Health officials also urged people to prevent mosquito bites by using repellents.
Brazilian Health Minister Nisia Trindade urged residents to check their homes and get rid of stagnant water where dengue-transmitting mosquitoes breed.
Fumigators are being sprayed in some of the worst-affected areas, and public health announcements will be made at the Sambadrome, the place where Rio's famous samba schools perform in front of judges to be crowned the winner of this year's Carnival parade.
