[geovalin]

More than 100 people were infected with Chikunngunya in La’ak commune’s Ping village in Ratanakkiri province’s O’Chum district, according to deputy provincial governor Nhem Sam Oeun.

 

Sam Oeun told The Post on May 23 that the cases were discovered 10 days ago and that most of the patients had already recovered and been discharged from hospital.

 

“This happened in just one village in O’Chum district. We have yet to see it happen in other places. In this area of the forest there are a lot of mosquitoes – especially Aedes aegypti. But the provincial authorities and health officials have sprayed the village with insecticide and the anti-dengue larvicide “Abate” to kill the mosquito larva,” he said.
