Dengue cases in Samoa have been on the decline since the first of May, however it comes as influenza cases have been unusually high.
The Ministry of Health declared a dengue outbreak on April 19th.
Since then, the public has been advised to remove stagnant water sources - which mosquitos use as breeding sites, wear clothing that minimises mosquito bites and use repellents.
Director-general of health Aiono Dr Alec Ekeroma told RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon if there continues to be a drop in dengue cases the outbreak will be called off on Friday.
