The Ministry of Health reports that the country has seen a sustained decline in autochthonous malaria cases, with a total of 11 local cases to date, representing a 94.5% reduction compared to the same period in 2024.
Optimal mosquito protection 24/7 throughout the country (at dusk and at night against malaria, during the day against dengue and other arboviruses) is important!
Important for all travelers to Costa Rica: In case of fever, malaria should be ruled out with a blood test.
