Amid jitters over dengue fever and other vector-borne viruses, the Mayor and City Council’s Public Health Department says it has implemented several measures to eradicate mosquito breeding grounds within the city.
Stabroek News spoke yesterday to Dr Suzette Reynolds, of the city’s Public Health Department, about the methods the council has been employing.
Dr. Reynolds explained that the council has maintained ongoing eradication efforts since the dry season. “During the dry season, we conducted a fogging exercise in collaboration with the Ministry of Health,” she noted. This exercise involved dispersing insecticides through fogging machines to target adult mosquitoes and reduce their population.
