衛生局指出,8日接獲通知確診一名登革熱個案為新莊區44歲女性,10月26日起陸續出現發燒、倦怠、頭痛、身體及四肢紅疹等症狀,就醫通報送驗後確診,症狀已緩解,3名同住者皆無症狀。經查該民眾於潛伏期間無旅遊史,感染源釐清中。
衛生局表示,為防範疫情擴散,新莊區公所已成立應變中心並於今召開應變會議,市府各局處依據登革熱防治工作手冊啟動加強業管場所環境孳清。衛生局持續擴大疫調及接觸者健康監測,並針對風險7里別規劃連續4週的區塊防治計畫,動員清除社區環境孳生源與預防性噴消作業,同時密切監測疫情發展,隨時調整防治策略。
衛生局局長陳潤秋呼籲,新莊區已出現登革熱本土案例,請醫療院所務必提高警覺,診間加強詢問病患活動史與群聚史,並踴躍向衛生局領取免費登革熱NS1快篩試劑,如遇疑似登革熱症狀民眾,請使用快篩試劑輔助診斷,以利衛生單位及時採取後續防治措施。
陳潤秋強調,目前仍為登革熱流行季節,這週天氣雖已轉涼,但氣溫仍適合病媒蚊活動及生長,近日受東北季風影響短暫降雨,請民眾把握雨後空檔主動清除家戶內外積水容器避免養蚊,落實「巡、倒、清、刷」,以降低病媒蚊密度;若出現發燒、頭痛、後眼窩痛、肌肉關節痛、出疹等登革熱疑似症狀,應儘速就醫,並主動告知醫師旅遊活動史。
