Villarreal Pérez said that all the patients are from the south of the country.
However, he said that the vector transmission -Aedes Aegypty- is the same as dengue, so "a local transmission is expected at any moment" he added.
The most common symptoms are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. Chikungunya disease does not often result in death, but the symptoms can be severe and disabling.
