There’s been a significant jump in the number of dengue cases in Singapore and the National Environment Agency (NEA) has pledged to step up inspections islandwide and intensify outreach efforts.

But don’t panic. You can download NEA’s myENV app for updates on the dengue situation and information on dengue clusters in Singapore.
The app also allows you to call the NEA hotline with just one touch and submit feedback and reports (along with photos) to the Agency on your mobile device.
Alternatively, visit the Mozzie Wipeout campaign website for a map of the locations of Active Clusters on the island.
