Epidemia

Physicians in Honduras report a recent surge in COVID-19 cases and are urging the public to resume biosecurity measures, particularly mask-wearing, especially in healthcare and public settings where transmission risk is highest.

Health authorities declared a local epidemic in Olancho after more than 300 dengue cases accumulated there, with 45–50 new infections reported each week, and officials warned of circulation of serotype 3, a variant linked to more severe illness.

The Health Ministry has declared a local dengue epidemic in Olancho's municipalities of Juticalpa and Catacamas, with epidemiological data showing rising cases that officials say require urgent intervention to prevent wider spread.
