The media reported on the fear of epidemics of dengue and chikungunya fever in France

The French authorities are concerned about the possible outbreak of dengue and chikungunya fever epidemics in the European part of the country due to an increase in cases. This was reported on May 26 by the BFMTV channel.

"There has been a sharp increase in the number of cases of dengue and chikungunya in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and health authorities fear an epidemic," the article says.

Healthcare structures use a "proactive approach" to combat the spread of the disease. It is specified that the reason for the spread of the disease is the penetration of a tiger mosquito into the region, through whose bites the fever is transmitted.

"Since May 1, the Regional Health Agency has already recorded 31 cases of dengue fever and 37 cases of chikungunya fever in the region," the TV channel said.

Earlier, on April 4, in France, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) launched an emergency "white plan" at the University Hospital of Reunion amid an outbreak of chikungunya fever. It clarifies that the protocol of the "white plan" allows medical institutions to quickly mobilize human and material resources to combat the spread of the disease. It is noteworthy that the protocol was last activated in Reunion in January 2022 during the COVID-19 epidemic.
