China Battles Record Chikungunya Outbreak | JQJO

China is battling its largest-ever chikungunya virus outbreak, with over 10,000 cases reported. The virus, spread by mosquitoes, causes fever, joint pain, and rash. Foshan, Guangdong province, is the hardest-hit area, but cases have reached Hong Kong and Taiwan. Chinese authorities are implementing control measures including mosquito net distribution, disinfectant spraying, and drone surveillance of breeding grounds. While there's no specific treatment, the US FDA recently lifted a pause on a chikungunya vaccine.
