If you are on site, be aware that dengue is transmitted through mosquito bites, particularly during dawn and dusk hours. Symptoms typically appear within several days and include fever, headache, and body aches. Seek medical attention from local health authorities if you develop these symptoms, as they can provide appropriate assessment and care.
To protect yourself, use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and trousers when possible, and stay in accommodated areas with screens or air conditioning. Follow all guidance issued by local health authorities and your embassy. For medical concerns, contact local health services directly rather than self-treating.
