Although petechial fever falls,
the rate is not sustainable due to the fact that the epidemic has not reached the peak yet. The center notes that it is a favorable time
for the epidemic to spread and its peak can probably be reached between Aug. and
Sept. because of high rainfall, a preferable condition for mosquito’s growth.
Therefore, people should follow preventive methods, especially when the season
changes, causing much more precipitation, and take especial care of children.
