In light of the recent surge in Dengue fever cases and the concurrent increase in rainfall the Environmental Health Vector Control Unit is urging its residents to take immediate action to prevent mosquito breeding and protect public health. Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral infection, poses a significant threat, and proactive measures are crucial to curb its spread.

With the aim of reducing mosquito breeding grounds, the Environmental Health Department has launched a public awareness campaign to educate citizens on simple yet effective steps to minimize the risk of Dengue transmission. This campaign emphasizes the importance of community involvement and encourages everyone to adopt the following measures:

𝟭.𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Residents are advised to regularly empty and clean containers such as flowerpots, buckets, and gutters to eliminate potential breeding sites.

𝟮.𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀: Ensure that water storage containers are tightly covered to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.

𝟯.𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲: Clear clogged gutters and ensure that drains are functioning properly to prevent water accumulation.

𝟰.𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Protect yourself and your family by using mosquito nets while sleeping and applying insect repellent on exposed skin.

𝟱.𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: When outdoors, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to reduce exposure.

𝟲.𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗽 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Organize or participate in community clean-up drives to collectively reduce mosquito breeding sites in public spaces.

The Environmental Health Department is working closely within the Ministry of Health to conduct targeted mosquito control measures in high-risk areas.

The health and well-being of our residents are our top priorities. By taking proactive steps to eliminate mosquito breeding sites, we can collectively mitigate the impact of the Dengue outbreak. I urge everyone to participate in this community-wide effort and remain vigilant in preventing the spread of this disease.

What do you do when you’re feeling down?

CHOLERA is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with Vibrio cholerae bacteria. People can get sick when they swallow food or water contaminated with cholera bacteria. 🧫

About 1 in 10 people with cholera will experience severe symptoms, which, in the early stages, include:
profuse watery diarrhea, sometimes described as�• "rice-water stools" 💩
• vomiting 🤮
• thirst 💧
• leg cramps 🦵❗️
• restlessness or irritability 😤

Most persons infected with the cholera bacterium have mild diarrhea or no symptoms at all.

Only a small proportion, about 10%, of persons infected with Vibrio cholera 01 may have illness requiring treatment at a health center. 🏥

Cholera patients should be evaluated and treated quickly. With proper treatment, even severely ill patients can be saved. 👨🏽‍⚕️

If you or your loved one is experiencing these symptoms call your doctor (649)-946-4242 ☎️
