Mosquito warning after woman falls ill

The Centre for Health Protection has urged people to be on guard against mosquito-borne diseases after confirmation of an imported case of Chikungunya fever. A woman, 34, visited Sri Lanka between December 20 and January 10, and developed fever and joint pain on December 27. She recovered after receiving treatment on January 16. Family members who travelled with her had no symptoms. This was the first reported case this year.
