EThe objective was for them to be transmitters of the preventive measures that the community in general must take into account to avoid the proliferation of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, where it was highlighted that household cleaning remains fundamental.
On Thursday afternoon, the Municipality of Concordia, in a joint activity between areas of the Health Secretariat and the Undersecretariat of Environment, held a training session on dengue aimed at officials of all levels and municipal employees.
The objective of this was for each person who performs functions in the municipal sphere to know mainly what the preventive measures are that the community in general must know to avoid the proliferation of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, the transmitter of the disease.
During the opening, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza highlighted the importance of this type of action where everyone, regardless of the position each one occupies, acquires knowledge on how to collaborate so that dengue has the least possible effect on the city.
For his part, the Secretary of Health Diego Sauré pointed out that after the confirmation of a case in the city days ago, “we consider that all of us who have responsibility or perform functions in the municipal sphere should become transmitting agents of the main preventive measures that all citizens in general must take into account. This is fundamental,” he highlighted.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The presentations were given by Dr. Germán Margaritini, Undersecretary of Health, who provided a detailed account of the growth and development of dengue in recent years, highlighting that over time the main ally that the transmitting mosquito has had is the human being who does not take the necessary precautions so that it does not proliferate.
One of the data provided by the professional is that the larva can remain for up to a year waiting to receive humidity to hatch, which is why the recommendation is that in addition to eliminating all household places that allow for the laying of eggs, it is important to get rid of containers or clean them thoroughly.
In turn, the Director of Primary Health Care, Dr. Karina Greco, referred to the symptoms and processes of the disease, emphasizing that what one must pay attention to is the appearance of sudden fever without having flu symptoms; headaches, muscle and joint pain; nausea and rash.
Upon the appearance of these symptoms, the recommendation is that the person go to a Health Center or hospital so that a doctor can determine if it is a possible case of dengue and determine the steps to follow.

Finally, the Director of Environmental Sanitation, Engineer Carlos Pantaleone, referred to the main preventive measure against the disease: household cleaning. In this regard, he remarked that it is fundamental to clean and eliminate all areas or containers capable of accumulating water that favor the presence of the Aedes Aegypti.
In that sense, he reiterated the request to the community to empty or maintain the water in swimming pools and small pools; avoid having jars, buckets, or tires, among other elements, that accumulate rainwater and to clear out junk, recalling that since the month of July the Municipality has been working in this regard, touring the neighborhoods and raising awareness.
