The recent developments in Nickerie regarding the mosquito plague and the number of dengue cases have little or no influence on people’s choice to visit the district before the end of the holidays.
Lots of enthusiasm
A number of events are planned in the district for the coming weekend. Almost all accommodation options are fully booked. People are getting ready to spend the weekend in Nickerie. For example, the editors of Dagblad Suriname learned in conversation with Rasherie, a young lady from the district, that her family goes especially to buy school supplies because of the price differences.
Furthermore, other citizens indicate that they are prepared for the situation in the district. They tried to follow everything that was happening in the district and coordinated with family members and friends what they could expect during their visit to the district.
Reduced number of mosquitoes
The editors hear from residents that the number of mosquitoes has decreased slightly. According to the residents, for example, it is now possible to go into the yard to do some things, while this was not the case a week ago. The Office for Public Health Care (BOG) has admitted that its intervention was delayed, but that this was in principle due to the fact that an action plan had to be drawn up.
Calling vacationers
“Despite the presence of mosquitoes to a lesser extent, it is still good that holidaymakers are careful and pay attention to their surroundings, not only paying attention to the environment, but also keeping the environment clean is important,” Raisherie told the editors.
In conversation with the editors, it is also indicated that people should pay attention to how to deal with their environment and to avoid unnecessary throwing of garbage along the street that can create breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other activities that can lead to aggravation of the situation. After all, the consequences that follow are for the Nickerian community that is already dealing with the consequences of the dengue virus.
