Ministry of Health recommendations during dengue fever peak

NDO - The Ministry of Health recommends that people take measures to prevent dengue fever during the peak of the epidemic.

Currently, the peak season of dengue fever has begun. The disease is at risk of breaking out and becoming complicated if the community does not proactively and actively implement disease prevention measures.

To prevent disease for yourself, your family and the community, the Ministry of Health recommends that people proactively take the following disease prevention measures:

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

- Kill mosquito larvae by putting fish in large water containers; washing medium and small water containers; changing water in vases; adding salt/oil/larvicidal chemicals to bowls of water placed under cupboards.

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

- Sleep under mosquito nets and wear long clothes to prevent mosquito bites.

- Coordinate with the health sector when spraying chemicals to prevent and control epidemics.

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