AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMosquito-borne disease alert: Hawai‘i DOH confirmed a new travel-related dengue virus case on Oʻahu involving a visitor. The person is a nonresident, so the case is not counted in Hawai‘i’s official total (still five statewide). DOH says the expected risk of local spread is low because the visitor has left Hawai‘i and was not considered infectious for human-to-mosquito transmission at departure. Public health action: DOH teams are doing inspections, outreach, and mosquito control in the area, and residents are urged to prevent mosquito breeding by removing standing water (including buckets, containers, rain barrels, and cups). Regional context: Dengue remains a year-round risk in tropical and subtropical areas, including several Pacific islands—highlighting why travelers and communities in American Samoa should stay mosquito-aware.
