In this study, due to multiple cases of dengue fever in two locations in Haikou, Hainan, several factors affecting the transmission of dengue fever in Haikou in 2019 were analyzed. It was found that dengue fever spread from two sites: a construction site, which was an epidemic site in Haikou, and the university, where only four confirmed cases were reported. Comparative analysis revealed that the important factors affecting the spread of dengue fever in Haikou were environmental hygiene status, knowledge popularization of dengue fever, educational background, medical insurance coverage and free treatment policy knowledge and active response by the government.
