Hong Kong has reported its first locally acquired chikungunya case — a mosquito-borne virus causing fever and severe joint pain that can last years. The patient, an 82-year-old woman from Wong Tai Sin, developed symptoms in October with no recent travel abroad during incubation, raising concern about local spread. Authorities are ramping up mosquito control to prevent wider outbreaks as cases surge in nearby Guangdong, China. Stay protected: use repellents and eliminate standing water.
