An outbreak of dengue was declared for Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, and other parts of Guadalcanal province on 8 October 2016 and expanded to other provinces on 19 October. A total of 1,212 cases of suspected dengue have been reported in Guadalcanal (including Honiara), Malaita and Isabel (798 additional cases reported in situation report #3 for the week of 10-16 October 2016) provinces from 15 August to 16 October 2016, resulting in one death in Honiara. The upward trend is related to enhanced surveillance sites as well as a real upward trend in cases.
