This Saturday morning, the blockade of the 9 blocks affected by the probable dengue case detected this Friday was carried out.
The blockade consisted of visiting households with health agents to prevent the spread of the disease. De-cluttering and controlled fumigation were carried out to avoid affecting natural enemies of the vector mosquito and beneficial fauna. De-cluttering was minimal because the yards were generally very well maintained.
The Environmental Sanitation personnel who carried out the blockade highlighted the collaboration of the residents. Personnel from the Health Secretariat also participated through the Extramuros team, in coordination with provincial health authorities for the application of the required protocol.
The Health Secretariat reminded that the best prevention for dengue disease is to take personal measures to avoid the spread of the Aedes aegypti vector mosquito.
The Ministry of Health of the province of Entre Ríos established as a guiding criterion that the vaccine is not the main strategy for prevention, but rather focusing attention on cleaning tasks.
It was agreed that the first line of defense to prevent the disease is the elimination of mosquito breeding sites in the home and surrounding areas, and that early consultation and close monitoring of cases by the health team are the main strategies to avoid hospitalization situations and severe cases of the disease.
