Situbondo, Bhirawa
Entering the rainy season, Aides Aigepty larvae as mosquito seeds began to appear. Usually, the mosquito larvae grow in bathtubs, used cans and puddles in the home area.
To anticipate the spread of infectious diseases caused by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito from spreading further, the Besuki District Health Center started fogging or fogging yesterday (12/1).
The fogging target is in Krajan Hamlet, Kalimas Village, Besuki District. This was done because in the village there was one child who had been exposed to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Until now, the young boy with DHF is still undergoing intensive care at the local health center. On the other hand, the Situbondo District Health Office continues to urge the residents of the Pancasila Santri City to always maintain cleanliness in their homes and around their homes.
The head of Krajan Hamlet, Kalimas Village, Besuki District, Situbondo Regency, Zidni confirmed that in his area there was one child who was exposed to dengue hemorrhagic fever. So, continued Zidni, spraying or fogging efforts must be carried out immediately. “Yes, the fogging activity was directly carried out by the Besuki District Health Center. Because one child named Akmil Azmi Alfaruk tested positive for dengue,” said Zidni, yesterday.
Zidni said, from one dengue case, the area of one hamlet must be sprayed or fogged in order to prevent the spread of dengue disease to other areas. “Yes, for now we are still doing fogging in one hamlet. Tomorrow we will continue fogging in several other hamlets in Kalimas Village, Besuki District,” concluded Zidni.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Communicable Disease Control and Prevention Section (P2M) at the Situbondo District Health Office, Hari Santoso, when contacted by telephone confirmed that one child in Situbondo died of dengue fever. “It’s true,” said Hari Santoso briefly, who was sent via WA, yesterday.
