He came down with fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain on October 15. He travelled to the Philippines earlier in the month. He is in hospital in stable condition. His family members have no symptoms.

People should stay alert to the threat of Dengue fever and take measures against mosquito breeding. Travellers should wear long-sleeved tops and trousers, use insect repellent. If feeling unwell after returning from abroad, they should consult a doctor.
