PUBLIC URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST MALARIA
*****
WITH THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE IN THE WARMER SEASON, LOCAL RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO TRAVEL FREQUENTLY, ARE ASKED ONCE AGAIN TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION AGAINST THE RISK OF MALARIA INFECTION.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THERE HAD BEEN QUITE A NUMBER OF IMPORTED MALARIA CASES DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS - 101 IN 1984, 162 IN 1985 AND 127 LAST YEAR,
HONG KONG IS VULNERABLE TO MALARIA BECAUSE THE TERRITORY IS A MAJOR CENTRE FOR BOTH TOURISM AND BUSINESS. THERE IS ALSO A GREAT RISK OF THE MALARIA PARASITES BEING BROUGHT INTO HONG KONG BY TRAVELLERS FROM MALARIA ENDEMIC COUNTRIES.
