November 9th, 2018 – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions, for the African country of Senegal, on November 7, 2018.
Senegal, which is located on the north-west coast of central Africa, is an important partner of the United States in promoting peace and security.
Because dengue is a viral disease and spread by mosquito bites, all travelers to Senegal should prevent mosquito bites by using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing when outdoors, and sleeping in an air-conditioned or well-screened room or under an insecticide-treated bed net, said the CDC.
Moreover, half of the world’s population living in 128 countries is at risk of dengue.
