Meanwhile, the Regent of Karanganyar, Juliyatmono, who was present at the launching of the PSN movement, said that the government from both the sub-district and village levels should be responsive and able to provide socialization to the community regarding the eradication of mosquito nests.
The Regent confirms the activities fogging or fumigation can not solve the problem in the prevention and control of dengue disease.
“Fogging is dangerous because what is sprayed is an insecticide which also has side effects on health. Therefore, fogging is carried out with the results of epidemiological investigations and appropriate procedures in accordance with applicable regulations. It should not be done carelessly, so that mosquitoes become resistant. The most appropriate thing is the PSN movement,” said the regent. (rud/adi/dam)
