The outbreak, linked to an imported case, has prompted authorities to urge mosquito control and early medical attention.

China is experiencing an outbreak of chikungunya, a mosquito-borne infection, with thousands of cases reported in the south.

Chikungunya fever cases jumped to 4,014 on Friday (Jul 25), representing a rapid rise in numbers since authorities started tracking cases two weeks ago, according to public records released by health departments in districts in Foshan. The city in China's southern province Guangdong has been heavily impacted by the surge in infections. The chikungunya outbreak remains "quite severe", Sun Yang, deputy director of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a news conference on Wednesday in Foshan.

Chikungunya is spread to people by the bites of infected mosquitoes. It causes fever and severe joint pain, but deaths are rare, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
