ALAGOAS – SESau begins itinerant actions to combat dengue throughout the state starting this Wednesday.

Starting this Wednesday, the Department of Health (SES) will be promoting itinerant actions to combat dengue throughout the state. With the aim of raising awareness among the population about the importance of preventive measures to avoid the proliferation of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, which transmits the disease, SES teams will be traveling to different neighborhoods and municipalities.

The initiative is part of a strategic plan prepared by SES to intensify actions to combat dengue, which has seen a significant increase in cases across the state. According to data from the latest epidemiological bulletin, there was a 30% increase in dengue cases compared to the same period last year.

During the itinerant actions, SES teams will carry out cleaning efforts, distribute information material and provide guidance on how to prevent the proliferation of the mosquito that transmits dengue fever. In addition, inspections will be carried out in homes, vacant lots and places with possible breeding grounds for Aedes Aegypti.

It is essential that the population is engaged in this campaign and adopts preventive measures in their homes, such as eliminating containers that can accumulate stagnant water, keeping water tanks properly closed and using repellents to avoid mosquito bites.

Given the scenario of increasing dengue cases, it is essential that everyone does their part in combating this disease. The collaboration of each citizen is essential to prevent the proliferation of mosquitoes and prevent the transmission of dengue fever. Together, we can eliminate Aedes Aegypti breeding sites and protect our health and the health of our community.
