Hospitals in Oman are being put on standby to deal with patients who present symptoms of dengue.
This came in after four cases were discovered in the Sultanate.
Three Omanis and one expat were found to have contracted the disease—spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito— in the wilayat of Seeb.
However, three of the patients who were diagnosed with dengue fever in Oman have recovered.
