China CDC warns summer mosquito breeding and higher population mobility have increased the risk of vector‑borne disease outbreaks; imported cases raise local transmission risk, and southern provinces face elevated risk of dengue and chikungunya clusters. Nationwide respiratory infections are at low circulation overall; rhinovirus and parainfluenza show activity and COVID‑19 remains at low circulation.
