While fumigation operations are being carried out, cleaning and removing discarded items are essential.
The Undersecretariat of Health of the Municipality of Concordia reminded of the importance of removing discarded items and keeping patios and gardens clean, as the main method to prevent dengue diseases transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
Dr. Florencia Prieto, Undersecretary of Health, pointed out that while different areas of the Secretariat of Human Development are carrying out territorial operations, fumigating and informing the population about preventive measures against dengue, “the community in general must maintain the main care measures to avoid the proliferation of the mosquito, such as the removal of discarded items and the cleaning of all those spaces where larvae can be deposited”.
“It is important to keep in mind that without the Aedes aegypti mosquito, there is no dengue. Therefore, it is essential to empty, clean, and cover all objects that can accumulate stagnant water, such as flowerpots, tires, water containers, among others. This takes on special relevance in the current scenario, after several days of rainfall throughout the provincial territory, where it is beneficial to check the home to keep the removal of discarded items up to date,” stated the official.
