Florida, July 30.- The municipality of Florida updated its strategy for combating arboviruses during the current phase, a time when there is already an increase in suspected cases of diseases transmitted by the Aedes aeyipti mosquito in the area.
According to information provided by the Municipal Director of Public Health, Ennis González Carrazana, to date, 12 city blocks have been reported at risk of dengue transmission. Therefore, the public’s full support for the prevention and response measures implemented in each area is requested.
According to the director, this Monday, the work was most intensive in areas in the northern part of the city, although the strategy defines extending surveillance and epidemiological control activities to the rest of the areas with immediate danger of the spread of arboviruses and their transmitting agent, the Aedes aeyipti mosquito.
In this regard, and despite official limitations in the collection of solid waste, the containment of water leaks and other threats to community health, it is up to the people of Florida to promote self-focused efforts in neighborhoods and blocks of the municipality, starting with the mowing of yards and lots, covering water reservoirs and going to the doctor for any feverish symptoms or other ailments that indicate the suspicion of infestation due to the presence of dengue and other diseases transmitted by the vector.
