A mosquito-borne disease outbreak in Guangdong province, China has prompted global health concerns. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering a travel notice for China due to the rising number of Chikungunya infections.
The virus is transmitted through mosquito bites, causing symptoms such as fever, joint pains, headaches, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rashes. So far, over 5,000 cases have been reported in China since last month, with most cases concentrated in the southern province of Guangdong.
