On alert following chikungunya outbreak

By BAVANI M.
Dr Param Jeeth says the hotspots for chikungunya are areas with clogged drains and water ponding, and abandoned houses which are perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

A RESIDENTIAL area in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur has been identified as the site of a chikungunya outbreak in the city, with 56 confirmed cases so far.

Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya Health Department said the outbreak in Taman Dato Senu was first detected on Feb 16.
