Dengue cases have been rising exponentially around the world, with over five million cases and 2,000 deaths since the start of the year.

So are these statistics a cause for concern for the Little Red Dot? What steps can we take individually and collectively as a community to prevent the spread of dengue?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Leo Yee Sin, Professor, NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, shares her insights.
