According to the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica: SINAVE), both deseases have increased considerably in Yucatan, 25 new cases of chikungunya and dengue are recorded daily.
So far this year, 100 new cases of Chikungunya were confirmed as well as 633 new cases of Dengue. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.
Just under a month ago, more than 100 cases per week were registered, due to several different factors, such as puddles scattered on roads and vacant lots, making the rain the main source of both diseases.
