China is currently dealing with a significant outbreak of the chikungunya virus, with thousands of cases reported in Guangdong province over the past week. This mosquito-borne disease is known for causing severe joint pain and fever, and in some cases, it can lead to long-term health issues.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a travel health notice for several countries, including China, due to the outbreak. The virus circulates in tropical and subtropical regions, and China’s outbreak serves as a warning for India to strengthen its mosquito control efforts.
