The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention is set to issue a travel notice to China as potentially-deadly chikungunya infections rise in the country, according to reports by Bloomberg News.
China has recorded nearly 5,000 cases of the mosquito-borne illness after one infection was found in early July. Guangdong, a province near Hong Kong, has recorded almost 3,000 cases in the last week alone. There have been 90 deaths and 240,000 cases across at least 16 countries so far this years, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
