[Attention]Notice regarding measures to dengue fever

Dengue fever infection was reported in Japan in August 2014, for the first time in the last 70 years. Dengue fever infection is spreading in all over Japan among those who visited Yoyogi Park in Tokyo and around the area.
Dengue fever is caused by Dengue viruses transmitted by mosquitoes (Yellow Fever mosquito/ Tiger mosquito), not between humans.
If you have a sudden-onset fever, headaches, aches behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, and rashes for 3 to 7 days after being bitten by mosquitos, please go see a doctor.
Please acquire latest information from the following website.
