 The Ministry of Health and Wellness has received results from the Caribbean Public Health Agency CARFA, confirming two dengue-related deaths in St. Lucia. As indicated in a previous press release, both individuals were seen and managed at the Owen King European Union Hospital, where they presented with a clinical picture consistent with dengue fever. This now brings the total number of confirmed dengue-related deaths in St. Lucia to three. A fourth death is currently being investigated. The individual was admitted to hospital with signs and symptoms of dengue fever. As per protocol, a sample was tested locally and sent to CARFA for confirmation. The Ministry of Health and Wellness awaits these results. As of October 10, 2020, a total of 711 confirmed cases have been recorded. The mean age of cases is 21 years, with an inrange from three weeks to 84 years. The northern part of the island continues to report the highest numbers of cases, although cases have been recorded throughout the island. The public is reminded that dengue fever can be controlled by reducing or eliminating the mosquito population. Measures to do so include eliminating breeding sites in and around their homes. This can be done by discarding of all open containers with stagnant water in and around your home on a regular basis, using insect repellent, which may be applied directly to the skin, clothing or mosquito nets, wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants, especially during hours of highest mosquito activity. The Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue to provide the public with updates on the dengue situation in St. Lucia.
