To break the chain of dengue fever, Yasna invites all parties, especially village officials and the community, to always maintain the cleanliness of their living environment. There are procedures carried out by the Health Department if a dengue fever case is found in a resident.
“The Health Department is ready to carry out an etymology investigation and look around the house to see if there are any larvae that need to be exterminated or Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) with 3M plus, then fogging,” he said.
According to him, this is mandatory because fogging is not effective, because it only kills adult mosquitoes, not the larvae which will grow into adult mosquitoes a few days later.
“We also urge residents to clean around their homes. “Such as cleaning larvae breeding places in bathtubs, bird drinking places and places that collect rainwater, for example used tires,” he advised. (Wan/K-3)
