Spain holiday warning for UK tourists this summer amid dengue fever spike

Ibiza has issued an alert to tourists after outbreaks of dengue fever after six people were struck down with the bug. The local Government has said six German tourists were infected between May and November last year.

Now there are fears there could be a second wave on the horizon, especially for the summer during the busiest time of the year. Spain's government has said there is a "moderate" risk of people getting the fever during the summer, Birmingham Live reports.

Dengue fever is an infection spread by mosquitoes and can be deadly to vulnerable adults. Symptoms usually start 4 to 10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito, according to the NHS.
