FRESH CALLS TO ELIMINATE MOSQUITO BREEDING SITES

Another call this evening for residents to play their part in eliminating mosquito breeding sites in this country.
The reminder is coming from Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister’s Office, Ambassador Lionel Hurst.
The call comes days after the Health Ministry revealed it has recorded hundreds of suspected and confirmed cases of Dengue Fever including one associated death.
Dengue fever is vector-borne viral disease primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of female aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
Ambassador Hurst says the campaign to reduce the number of mosquitoes is ongoing and must be a collaborative effort between the government and citizens.
