Insurance and healthcare costs
Households face increased healthcare expenses, reduced work productivity, potential school closures, and higher insurance premiums. Consumer spending may shift toward preventive measures (insecticides, repellents) while discretionary spending declines due to illness and mobility restrictions.
Likely government emergency health spending increases, potential mandatory vector control programs, workplace safety regulations, and possible tourism/business restrictions. May trigger public health emergency declarations requiring budget reallocation from other sectors.
