Accordingly, the provincial CDC Center has supervised and investigated disease prevention vectors in Thien Cam commune, Ky Xuan and Hoanh Son ward.
Monitoring shows that people are aware of the risk of dengue fever and epidemic prevention measures, and are aware of environmental sanitation to kill bedbugs and ticks.
However, there are still some households that have not paid attention to epidemic prevention, items, waste containing water, and the high rate of bedbugs and rat pounce in waste containing water, which poses a potential risk of spreading dengue fever.
The delegation also instructed and requested people to flip each water container, organize environmental sanitation, kill lentils, insects, mosquitoes, prevent disease from spreading, instruct people to use mosquito repellent chemicals, and lie on the property regularly to proactively prevent dengue fever.
Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh - Director of the Center for Disease Control of Ha Tinh province - said that this year the weather will have a lot of rain, creating favorable conditions for mosquito development, leading to the risk of spreading dengue fever.
It is very likely that the dengue fever epidemic situation in some localities in the province will develop complicatedly, unpredictably and occur earlier than in previous years if timely prevention and control measures are not taken.
To effectively prevent and control dengue fever, in addition to the efforts of the health sector, it requires the cooperation of departments, branches and organizations, especially the awareness of each citizen.
Proactive disease prevention and control, especially the destruction of disease-carrying vectors, is still an important strategy in the current prevention of dengue fever.
Proactively clean up houses and gardens, overturn unnecessary water containers, kill mosquito larvae and mosquitoes. When sleeping, wear a curtain to prevent mosquito bites.
For patients with symptoms of fever, cough, headache, and fatigue, people need to go to medical facilities for diagnosis and treatment, do not take medicine on their own, because if not treated promptly and properly, it will cause dangerous complications, even death.
