Furthermore, he appealed to the public to pay more attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding environment, as an effort to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
“I urge especially the people who are in the South Denpasar area, to be active as an independent Jumantik, and carry out 3M plus activities such as draining/cleaning places used as water reservoirs, closing water storage containers and recycling items that might become mosquito breeding grounds. ,” he concluded.(bpn)
