Pasukan Kesihatan dari Majlis Daerah Maradong & Julau menjalankan aktiviti pengasapan (fogging) di kawasan perumahan Jalan Gereja setelah menerima kes penyakit Chikungunya
dikawasan tersebut.
Signs and symptoms
The incubation period of Chikungunya disease is from two to four days. Symptoms of the disease include a fever up to 40 °C (104 °F), a petechial or maculopapular rash of the trunk and occasionally the limbs, and arthralgia or arthritis affecting multiple joints.[4] Other nonspecific symptoms can include headache, conjunctival infection, and slight photophobia. Typically, the fever lasts for two days and then ends abruptly. However, other symptoms -- namely joint pain, intense headache, insomnia and an extreme degree of prostration -- last for a variable period; usually for about 5 to 7 days.[4] Patients have complained of joint pains for much longer time periods depending on their age.[5][6]
