It is now becoming a serious concern with more than 300 people in the country now suffering from Dengue Fever.
Director Curative Health Services Dr Ami Chandra said that the report he has received from hospitals around Fiji shows that 318 people have been diagnosed with Dengue and the figure continues to rise in each division.
Meanwhile, the number of patients diagnosed with Dengue Fever has increased in the Western Division with a total of 132 cases reported up to now.
The Divisional Medical Officer Western Dr Tharid Ali said the largest number of reported cases is from the Lautoka area with around seventy cases, whereas the second highest number reported is from the Sigatoka area with thirty cases.
Dr Ali said he expects the number to rise further within the next couple of days, as yesterday alone saw six more people admitted to the Lautoka Hospital for treatment.
There is still no word on when the mosquito spraying campaigns will be carried out.
