Results for Health Minister Dr. 'Ana 'Akau'ola

Ten cases of dengue fever have been confirmed in Tonga in the last week and are likely to increase, the Minister for Health, Hon. Dr ‘Ana ‘Akau’ola, said this morning. She urged the community to take precautions to eliminate the mosquitos that spread the disease. The cases were found in Tongatapu, Vava'u and 'Eua since 13 February. "The limited supply of chemicals has prevented spraying in schools at this time," she said.
