The number of dengue cases in Nauru have begun tapering off from April after peaking at 901 reported cases between January and March of this year.
The Department of Health and Medical Services identified the dengue virus as Dengue Serotype 2 (DENV2) and about one third of those were confirmed to have contracted DENV2.
A government statement said about 70 of this number was reported from people from the refugee community.
The government said the outbreak was not regarded as severe in the vast majority of cases.
The dengue continued through the end of April before tapering off, which is a normal outcome with the continuation of spraying and fogging programs.
A maintenance program has since been implemented to control further outbreaks and the situation is under control.
There are four types of dengue virus and none are treatable in the initial stages except for administering supportive measures, which include taking pain relievers for fever, anti-inflammatory medications for joint pain, and drinking plenty of water.
Often the initial stage of the virus will be resolved within days.
The public has been urged to be vigilant and continue to take precautions, such as ensuring the environment around their homes is clear of water receptacles including tyres, cans, bottles and leaves as the mosquitos are here year-round and we are especially vulnerable after heavy rainfalls when they can lay their larvae.
Anyone with suspected dengue symptoms is advised to seek medical advice from RoN Hospital.
