Dengue fever outbreaks are at their peak in Argentina.
登革热疫情在阿根廷达到高峰。
It's leading to a shortage of mosquito repellent in the country.
这导致了该国驱蚊剂的短缺。
Cailiannews, April 6, Argentina's dengue fever epidemic is spreading rapidly. In order to prevent themselves from being bitten by mosquitoes and infected with the virus, many people choose to buy mosquito repellent, which has been out of stock in many parts of Argentina. The shortage of mosquito repellent is not only happening in the capital, but similar situations have recently occurred in many parts of Argentina. Unable to buy offline, some people instead try to buy online, but the price of the goods is 5 to 10 times the normal level, and even sells for $40 a bottle (about 290 yuan). In order to ensure market supply, the Argentine government introduced new measures this week, temporarily relaxing the import of domestic mosquito repellent restrictions, while requiring domestic companies to expand production.
财联社4月6日电,阿根廷的登革热疫情近来正在快速蔓延。为了防止自己被蚊虫叮咬、感染病毒,很多人选择购买驱蚊剂,目前这一商品已在阿根廷多地出现了缺货情况。驱蚊剂缺货不仅发生在首都,近期阿根廷多地都出现了类似的情况。线下买不到,有的人转而尝试在网上购买,但商品价格却是正常水平的5倍至10倍,最高甚至卖到一瓶40美元(约合人民币290元)。为确保市场供应,阿根廷政府于本周出台新措施,暂时放松对外国产驱蚊剂的进口限制,同时要求本国相关企业扩大生产。
Health officials say dengue infections in Argentina have soared to over 180,000 this season, including nearly 130 deaths.
