Preventing Dengue Fever: Tips and Precautions for Transition Season

Baturaja, Detiksumsel.com – Entering the transition season, the Head of the OKU District Health Service, Dedy Wijaya SKM MKes, appealed to the public to keep the environment clean and increase the body’s immunity.

This is to anticipate various diseases that occur during the transition from the dry season to the rainy season.

Dedy said that this transition season is very vulnerable to the spread of disease, especially Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). “In the transition season, the virulence of germs usually increases. “Don’t let our immune system be weak, the virus will enter,” said Dedy.

For this reason, he invited the public to anticipate the occurrence of dengue fever cases. Namely by taking precautions and doing the 3 M plus. Namely draining water reservoirs, closing water reservoirs and burying used items. And the plus is that it carries out abatement.

“So, don’t let it become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. “If there is, we will give you abatement medicine,” continued Dedy Wijaya.

Another prevention effort is that the OKU Health Service has a network of 18 Community Health Centers. These health centers have been given letters to prevent dengue cases. Including by providing counseling. “DHF prevention education is important because community members can break the chain of dengue fever. “One of them is 3M,” he continued.

Dedy added, if there is a dengue fever case in an area, the OKU District Health Office will carry out fogging. The fogging is focused only on areas where dengue cases occur. “So far there have been no reports regarding dengue fever cases in OKU Regency,” he said. (fei)
