Singapore has been successful in reducing transmission of the virus over the past 50 years with its vector control program, which works to keep the mosquito population low.
But recently, cases have been rapidly rising.
Peak season only began on June 1, and already 2022 is shaping up to have one of the worst outbreaks on record.
Cases have increased by 285 per cent compared to the same time last year, according to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) data.
