Mayor Francisco Azcué reiterated the importance of cleaning and removing discarded items to prevent the proliferation of the transmitting mosquito. The community is requested to clean swimming pools and small pools while the fumigation and blockage schedule continues.
On Monday morning, the mayor of Concordia, Francisco Azcué, led the meeting of the Health Emergency Committee (COES) formed due to the situation in the city regarding dengue, an opportunity in which the various actions being carried out and the scope of the health and epidemiological emergency declaration were reported.
“We are working in the field, we are making a great effort from the Municipality, using all available resources in the fight against dengue, but we need the collaboration of the residents,” remarked the mayor, stressing that cleaning and removing discarded items remains fundamental and the community must understand and apply it.
SWIMMING POOLS AND SMALL POOLS
A situation that is being emphasized is the cleaning of canvas pools and swimming pools, as it has been found in many homes that they have not been emptied or the water conditions maintained, and with the recent rains, they have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes transmitting the disease.
“We need you to clean your yards, not to let water accumulate in flowerpots, in small pools and swimming pools. When we go to fumigate, we are finding that there are many water deposits in houses, and if we do not all collaborate, if all the residents do not work together to do their part, this will get worse and worse.”
Finally, the Mayor asked the community that when fumigation and blockage operations are carried out, “allow us to enter your homes and land; we need that civic commitment because, for our part, we are deploying all resources to combat dengue.”
