Asked about the steps to suppress dengue fever in Ternate, Nurbayti admitted, they must be intense in conducting outreach and people should not throw used goods carelessly.
“Don’t let water stagnate in the reservoir, such as clogged sewers at several points in Ternate City and continue to be left uncleaned. That’s not our responsibility,” he explained.
“So the technical OPD and the community must have a joint role in eradicating the outbreak that could be a source of dengue fever. If we want Ternate to be healthy, let’s keep it clean together,” he concluded.
