From January to May 15, 2026, Singapore reported over 600 dengue cases—down 66% from the same period in 2025, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA). Despite this decrease, there has been one recorded death in 2026. As the country enters its peak dengue season from May to October, NEA urges vigilance against mosquito breeding, which is primarily occurring in homes (65% of sites). The launch of the National Dengue Prevention Campaign emphasizes continued public engagement and highlights Project Wolbachia, which has shown to significantly reduce dengue risk in targeted areas. Climate change is also acknowledged as a growing factor in dengue transmission risk.
