The Ministry of Health’s Continued Enhanced Surveillance, Confirms One Additional Case for Malaria
The vector for Malaria is predominantly the Anopheles species of mosquito. This mosquito primarily bites during the night. It is noteworthy that unlike Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika, Malaria is not spread by a virus.
Early symptoms of Malaria include fever, chills, headaches and fatigue, which may start within 10-15 days of being bitten by an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Persons experiencing any of these symptoms should visit their nearest health facility.
