Two more locally acquired cases of dengue fever have been confirmed in Orange County, bringing the county’s total to five, according to the Florida Department of Health.
Health officials said both new cases are in the Apopka area. Two previous cases were also reported in the Apopka area, while another was reported in Pine Hills.
Orange County Mosquito Control said the two new cases are close to previous local cases and officials believe dengue appears to be spreading in that area.
The county is now preparing to use aerial spraying in addition to work already underway on the ground.
