Recent reports indicate a strong anti-mosquito campaign in Guangdong, with dense white smoke filling the streets and communities, causing a foggy atmosphere throughout the city. This action follows an outbreak of Chikungunya fever (CHIK), also known as the “Chikungunya Disease,” which has now spread beyond Guangdong to other provinces in China, including Beijing, Chongqing, Hunan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
On July 29, a national teleconference was held in Beijing by Chinese authorities to address the Chikungunya fever epidemic. On the same day, Foshan initiated a level III public health emergency response. From July 29 to 31, free nucleic acid screening for the virus was conducted in Lecong Township. On July 22, the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced occasional imported cases of the virus in the city.
On August 2, the Hong Kong Department of Health confirmed the first imported case of Chikungunya fever in Hong Kong since 2019. The patient, a child who had stayed in Shunde, Guangdong for two weeks, returned to Hong Kong with symptoms of fever and joint pain.
