Measures to prevent dengue fever

- Cover all water containers tightly to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.

- Weekly, take measures to kill mosquito larvae by releasing fish into large water containers; washing medium and small water containers, turning over containers that do not contain water; changing the water in flower vases; adding salt or oil or larvicidal chemicals to the bowl of water placed under the cupboard.

- Weekly remove waste materials and natural water holes that do not allow mosquitoes to lay eggs such as bottles, jars, broken glass, coconut shells, broken jars, old tires/tires, bamboo holes, leaf sheaths...

- Sleep under mosquito nets and wear long clothes to prevent mosquito bites even during the day. - Actively cooperate with the health sector in chemical spraying to prevent and control epidemics.

- When you have a fever, go to a medical facility immediately for examination and treatment advice. Do not self-treat at home.

- Each household should spend 10 minutes each week to prevent dengue fever with the following simple movements:

+ Check, detect and destroy mosquito larvae in domestic water containers by regularly washing, covering tanks and water containers tightly, and releasing fish to destroy mosquito larvae.

+ Regularly change the water in vases, add salt or chemicals to bowls of water placed on cupboards, aquariums, rockeries, etc.
