The Municipality of Concordia reminds the general community that the most effective preventive action in the fight against dengue is home care measures. “Deseasoning and the elimination of water containers is essential to prevent the mosquito from spreading,” stated Health Secretary Diego Sauré.
Health Secretary Diego Sauré referred to the first confirmed case of dengue in our city this past Tuesday. In this regard, he indicated that it is an elderly person who, upon presenting symptoms compatible with the disease, went to a private laboratory where they underwent tests that ultimately tested positive.
“Once the case was confirmed, the corresponding measures were applied, which consist of blocking actions within a radius of approximately 9 blocks, with an operation for deseasoning and the elimination of containers and all elements that allow for water accumulation and become breeding grounds for the mosquito,” indicated Sauré.
DESEASONING AND ELIMINATION OF WATER CONTAINERS
In that sense, he affirmed and made an appeal to the community that “deseasoning and the elimination of water containers is essential to prevent the mosquito from spreading. Everyone in their homes and even those who carry out some type of activity, such as tire repair shops, must take time to go through their yards or the fronts of their homes and eradicate every source of propagation.”
Regarding space fumigation, Sauré explained that it is effective when it reaches the mosquito directly, as it has no residual effect. “The effectiveness of space fumigation fluctuates at 50% if the mosquito is reached directly. It is justified to carry it out when there is a suspected or confirmed case, where the home and its surroundings are fumigated.”
Finally, the Health Secretary recalled that throughout this time, deseasoning and awareness operations have been carried out in different neighborhoods of the city, for which he asked for the collaboration of residents in the event that municipal personnel arrive at their homes.
