Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said a total of 72,356 dengue cases were reported from January to July this year, an 89.5% increase from the same period last year.
Dr Dzulkefly said dengue death toll had risen to 108 from 61 fatalities last year, where a surge in dengue cases started in May this year as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.
