Significant Increase in Dengue Cases Observed in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Recent data released by the Jalisco Ministry of Health has revealed a concerning surge in dengue cases in Puerto Vallarta. In the epidemiological week spanning October 29 to November 4, there was a notable increase of 90.90% in confirmed dengue cases compared to the previous week of October 22 to 28. This surge has raised the number of reported cases in Puerto Vallarta from 11 to 21.

This alarming rise in cases comes despite rigorous and ongoing preventive measures implemented by health authorities. These measures were intensified in response to the escalating dengue situation in other southern regions of the country.

According to the official figures available on the Jalisco Ministry of Health’s dedicated dengue microsite, as of November 4, confirmed cases have been reported in three of the six municipalities within the eighth health region. This region, which includes Puerto Vallarta, Tomatlán, and Cabo Corriente, has seen an increase from 13 to 24 cases in just one week.

A closer analysis of the data shows that a staggering 87.5% of these cases are concentrated in Puerto Vallarta, accounting for 21 of the confirmed cases. Meanwhile, in Tomatlán, cases have doubled from one to two, representing 8.3% of the total. Cabo Corriente continues to report one confirmed case, constituting 4.1% of the region’s total.

It is, however, noteworthy that despite the rise in dengue cases in the eighth health region, led by Puerto Vallarta, there have been no fatalities linked to the disease. Health authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and urge the public to adhere to preventive measures to control the spread of dengue.

As the situation develops, residents and visitors in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect themselves from dengue. The health authorities remain vigilant and committed to curbing this upsurge and safeguarding public health.
