She came down with fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain on April 7. She travelled to Indonesia January 28 to April 7. She is in hospital in stable condition. Her 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, and use insect repellent. If feeling unwell after returning from abroad, consult a doctor.
