The coronavirus is killing thousands and commanding government attention across Latin America. But another deadly viral infection remains a problem for the region: dengue. Dengue, which is spread by mosquitoes, has been called “breakbone fever” for the severe physical pain it causes. Doctors and health officials are concerned about the effect of COVID-19, the breathing disorder caused by the virus, on Latin American countries. They say COVID-19’s arrival has pulled attention and resources away from the fight against dengue. The Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) expects 2020 to be marked by high rates of dengue across the region.
