In 2019, the proportion of severe dengue (0.9%) has exceeded that observed in the previous four years; however, it is below that observed between 2010-2014 (ranging 1.35% to 3.05%). Between EW 1 and EW 5 of 2020, 155,343 dengue cases were reported, including 28 deaths. Of this total, 15,392 were laboratory-confirmed and 715 were classified as severe dengue.
