Dengue fever has caused over 20 deaths in Xishuangbanna? Official latest announcement
On September 6th, a netizen posted a video on a short video platform saying "Mosquitoes in Xishuangbanna bite people, and more than 20 people have died.".
The Public Security Bureau of Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province immediately contacted relevant departments to verify that there have been no deaths from dengue fever in Xishuangbanna Prefecture so far. The content posted by the netizen is a rumor.
On September 7th, the Jinghong City Public Security Bureau in Xishuangbanna Prefecture lawfully summoned the video publisher Wang to be investigated and questioned. Wang claimed that he went to a clinic for treatment due to illness and heard multiple people discussing dengue fever related content at the clinic. In order to attract attention and traffic, without verifying whether the situation was true, he used his phone to shoot a video at the entrance of the clinic and posted it on an online platform, with the false statement that "more than 20 people have died from mosquito bites in Xishuangbanna! The hospital is overcrowded every day, and I have been biting for seven or eight days" attached.
According to Article 25, Paragraph 1 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishments, the public security organs have imposed an administrative detention of five days on Wang for spreading false statements on the internet.
