Of the number of cases, there are three sub-districts that have the most dengue cases, namely Peteir, Kramatwatu and Ciomas sub-districts. “The most cases were in the Petir area with 7 cases, Kramatwatu 7 cases and Ciomas 5 cases,” he explained.
He said that there were factors that caused the spike in cases in early 2024, the main factors being influenced by weather conditions and environmental conditions that were less clean.
“The main factor causing the spike in dengue fever cases is due to the change of season because now it is the rainy season, lots of mosquito larvae appear,” stressed him.
According to him, in order to anticipate a spike in cases, the community must play an active role in preventing the mosquitoes that cause dengue fever from breeding. One of them is cleaning the environment from rubbish that can hold water.
“Apart from that, by eradicating mosquito nests, abatization is provided to kill mosquito larvae, because in the rainy season the mosquito larvae breed into adult mosquitoes,” he stressed.
Apart from abatization, his party also took other measures to kill adult mosquitoes, namely by carrying out fogging in a number of areas that had a large number of cases.
“Our final step is also to carry out fogging in the Kramatwatu, Petir, Ciomas sub-districts,” he concluded.
