The Municipal Health Department, through epidemiological surveillance, began on Monday 9 May with coastal fogging in the Yepes region. Visits to the residences began on Avenida Ponta Grossa and Rua Foz do Iguaçu, on Ypê IV. Work is one of the municipality’s dengue control measures.
The service will continue until next Thursday, May 12, preceding the Victory Day for Muji Gwasu in the fight against dengue fever, which will take place on Saturday, May 14. Therefore, priority is given to neighborhoods in the Ypês area where D-Day will take place in Ypês I, II, III, IV, VI, 7 and Jardim Santa Marta. From Tuesday 10 May to Thursday, the team will also implement overnight vehicle fogging in the Santa Cecilia/Cana area.
“Our teams are strengthening measures to combat dengue and we will have this important measure next Saturday, when we visit homes and talk with residents about the importance of keeping backyards clean. Backyards and sidewalks will be cleaned during the task force. Ypês was chosen because it has the largest Number of dengue cases,” commented VE nurse, Tathiana Póvoa de Faria.
There are 1,092 positive cases of dengue fever, according to data from Epidemiological Surveillance. The Municipal Education Department started the theater course in municipal, government and private schools in partnership with the Municipal Department of Culture. Primary schools will be the first to receive representatives.
