TRIBUNMURIA.COM, JEPARA – Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or DHF in Jepara Regency, claimed 4 lives.
Starting from January to the end of August 2023, the number of dengue cases in Carving City has reached 98 cases.
Head of the Jepara Regency Health Service (Dinkes), Mudrikatun, said that 4 residents who died after contracting dengue were known to have co-morbidities.
“So DHF is not the main factor in their death,” said Mudrikatun when met by tribunmuria.com, Tuesday (29/8/2023).
Nevertheless, he asked the public to remain vigilant against dengue.
This is because currently up to the 34th week, there are 433 suspected DHF.
He appealed to Jepara residents to care about environmental cleanliness.
To prevent DHF, he said, eradicating mosquito nests or PSN could be done.
Residents use used goods such as cans or tires so that they do not become breeding grounds for mosquito larvae.
Besides that, drain the tub periodically and cover the water reservoir.
Mudrikatun also asked residents to pay attention to the condition of the bathroom.
Because that place is also a mosquito nest.
He asked the public to brush the bathroom and monitor the tub.
According to him, implementing a clean and healthy lifestyle is an effective step to prevent the spread of dengue fever.
