How can I prevent Chikungunya infection in Singapore?

Prevention relies on mosquito control measures, as there is no vaccine.

- Use mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535.

- Wear long-sleeved clothing and use bed nets.

- Eliminate stagnant water sources (e.g., buckets, plant pots) around homes to prevent mosquito breeding.

- Support community efforts promoted by Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) for regular inspections and fogging.
