Triatno said that from the beginning of January to the end of July the DHF transmission did not cause death. However, his party appealed to residents who experience symptoms similar to dengue fever to immediately go to a health service facility so that they can immediately receive medical treatment.
“We ask residents if their body temperature is hot and cold for up to three days to immediately go to a health facility or hospital so they can be treated immediately,” he added.
The Lebak District Health Office is intensifying counseling on dengue prevention to reduce the risk of transmission of the disease.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever itself is caused by infection with the dengue virus, which can be transmitted through mosquito bites Temples of the Egyptians.
Dengue transmission can be prevented by intensifying the eradication of mosquito nests, by draining and cleaning water reservoirs, closing water reservoirs tightly, and reusing or recycling used goods.
