In the 2015 dengue outbreak in Taiwan, a significant rise in the number of dengue fever cases was reported in Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, and Pingtung City. As of the end of 2015, official data showed that more than 40,000 people, mostly in these three cities, were infected in 2015. This epidemic began in the summer of 2015, with the first reported occurrence in the North District, TainanШаблон:R. There were several documented cases in other cities and counties but none resulted in death or were of such large scale.

Statistics

The Centers for Disease Control lists several statistics about the outbreak. These statistics are reportedly from the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) for the Dengue Outbreak. The number of infections in Taiwan during 2015 was some three times the number in 2014.
