Ministry officials have assured that measures to prevent the spread of the dengue fever in Guyana are being taken even as there are outbreaks in other parts of the Caribbean region.
This was stated by Director of Vector Control Services at the Ministry of Health, Dr Horace Cox during a recent interview with Stabroek News where he said that the Ministry has been working along with the regions to ensure that the spread of the disease is curbed.
Dr Cox was responding to the query as to what was being done to prevent a dengue outbreak in the country as a recent outbreak of the disease has been reported in St Lucia and St Vincent where fatalities had occurred.
