SOUTHWEST SUMBA, iNews.id – The Regency Government (Pemkab) of Southwest Sumba (SBD), East Nusa Tenggara Province stipulates extraordinary events (KLB) dengue fever dengue (DBD). This was determined through the Circular (SE) of Southwest Sumba Regent Kornelius Kodi Mete.
This determination is due to the increasing number of dengue cases in SBD, reaching 104 cases. While one person was declared dead.
“Compared to 2021 in the same period, there were only 10 cases and zero deaths. But now one person has died,” he said.
He predicts dengue cases in Southwest Sumba will continue to increase and it is feared that it will be until April 2021. He appealed to various parties to be ready to anticipate.
Some things that must be considered are increasing community participation in efforts to control the Aedes Aegypty mosquito vector by carrying out a simultaneous movement to eradicate mosquito nests (PSN).
Then the community also coordinates with sub-district and village/sub-district officials in their respective regions regarding the control of the Aedes Agypti mosquito vector.
“We also ask religious leaders to convey to the public through the pulpit to always maintain cleanliness around the house,” said Kornelius Kodi Mete.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Population and Civil Registration Health Service (DKKPS) NTT Meserasi Ataupah when confirmed confirmed this.
“For provinces, KLB has not been determined. We are still looking at the districts/cities first,” he said.
