China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) is on high alert of dengue fever, which is very likely to break out this summer.

The Macao Health Bureau on Tuesday warned citizens that the disease would probably re-emerge this year, as dengue fever usually breaks out every three to four years.

The bureau said in a public circular that it will mobilize a large crowd of volunteer workers to aid the preventive activities of dengue fever from April 6 to June 25.

This year's anti-dengue fever campaign will take the forms of exhibitions, shows and games from April to mid-June to help citizens better understand self-prevention measures against dengue fever.

Volunteer workers will start issuing questionnaire papers to make citizens aware of the deadly disease, and help the government's work in insect abatement and update the information on the prevention of the disease among the folks.
