As of April 30, the Ministry of Health services had identified 168 active cases of Chikungunya. “Which gives us 2,051 cases since January of this year: a high figure, indeed. Once again, the mosquito proliferation centers most concerned are in the regions of Rose-Hill and Quatre-Bornes, and the surrounding suburbs. But we have also recorded cases in Tamarin, La Gaulette, La Preneuse and other regions in the West. Bamboos, for example. The epidemic is growing further,” says Dr Fazil Khodabocus, acting director of Health.
