This Tuesday afternoon, mayor Francisco Azcué led a meeting with representatives from the different sections with the objective of coordinating territorial actions aimed at prevention and awareness in the fight against dengue.
While the Municipality of Concordia is developing a fumigation schedule in the city's neighborhoods, the meeting highlighted the need to emphasize the importance of household cleaning and the elimination of elements that favor the proliferation of the transmitting mosquito.
In that sense, the mayor highlighted the role of the section representatives as spokespersons for these preventive actions, as they are the ones who have contact with the residents. “As a Municipal State, we are working on spatial fumigation, but we cannot enter every single home, which is why at this moment what we need is citizen participation and commitment,” remarked Azcué.
It is fundamental to develop a collective awareness that household cleaning and the elimination of all elements that favor the proliferation of the mosquito “is the best preventive measure we can take. We have had days of rain, it is time to carry out this task in our homes, to check every corner, to empty every container that has collected water, and to throw away everything we do not need. Without mosquitoes, there is no dengue,” affirmed the mayor of Concordia.
Present were the Secretary of Strategic Institutional Development Cristian Federik; the Undersecretary of Decentralization and Modernization Martín Centurión; Emanuel Almada, Director of Implementation of Municipal Management Centers; and Juan Gómez Kolln, Coordinator of Territorial Agents.
