Dengue,
a mosquito-transmitted viral infection, has posed a public health challenge to
Singapore residents over years. As in this year 2020, Singapore has been
experiencing the historically worst dengue outbreaks. As of 4 Aug, the
cumulative number of dengue cases for this year stands at more than 22400. A
fine-grained of dengue cases at an urban scale could give us a feasible way to
explore the spatial and temporal dengue risk, as well as reveal reasons for the
resurgence. Here, we collect a dataset of weekly dengue cases with the locality
of each case. Specifically, our dataset captures all dengue cases with onset
date from 15 Feb to 10 July in 2020, which covers the nationwide lockdown
period for preventing the pandemics of COVID-19. The locality is matched to a
spatial unit with high resolution, whose average coverage is just 1.35 km2.
The resulting dengue case records with spatial locality and onset week are
released in simple formats for easy access to motivating research of dengue
epidemics.
