Florida counties declare emergency over dengue outbreak
Original: Florida counties declare emergency over ‘wildly unusual’ dengue outbreak
Several Florida counties have declared a state of emergency in response to a dengue fever outbreak that health officials are calling wildly unusual for the region. Dengue is typically rare in the continental United States, and locally transmitted cases in Florida have prompted concern among residents and health authorities. Officials are urging people to take precautions against mosquitoes as they work to contain the spread.
Why now: A dengue outbreak severe enough to trigger county emergency declarations is highly unusual for the United States and raises fears about mosquito-borne disease spreading
