Quezon City Confirms 5,762 Dengue Cases This Year

In June 2025, the WHO's Dengue Situation Update #723 confirmed that the Western Pacific Region continues to face a high burden of mosquito-borne arboviral diseases, particularly Dengue. 

Within the Philippines, Quezon City (QC) declared a Dengue outbreak in February 2025

The QC government today published updated data regarding the ongoing outbreak.

The QC Epidemiology and Surveillance Division (QCESD) dashboard reported on July 1, 2025, that 5,762 dengue cases were reported in 2025, with QC's District 2 confirming the highest number of cases.

The QCESD stated that most fatal dengue cases (23) involved children and young women.

To alert international travelers visiting QC, a metro area with about 3 million residents located north of Manila, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included the Philippines in its Global Dengue Outbreak Advisory issued in June 2025.

Without a preventive vaccine available in the U.S., the CDC recommends that travelers to risk areas should prevent mosquito bites by using an EPA-registered insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors, and sleeping in an air-conditioned room or one with window screens.
