China's quarantine authorities Wednesday warned travelers to and from the Republic of El Salvadorto check or take precautions against dengue fever, which can lead to fatal hemorrhaging.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said the Latin American country had registered 1,200 cases of dengue fever outbreaks, and 110 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever by mid-June, and that the international community is in a period when incidence of the disease is high in a number of countriesy.

To prevent the fever from spreading to China, travelers from regions subject to dengue fever are being requested to declare at Chinese quarantine and inspection stations any symptoms such as fever, headaches, bone or joint and muscular pains and rashes that are associated with the disease.

The request was made in a bulletin issued Wednesday by the State Administration of Quality Supervision and Quarantine.
