As part of its continued vector control activities, the Ministry of Health’s Vector Control Services Department resumed fogging on Tuesday 17th June, 2014 in a number of communities in Georgetown. These fogging exercises, the Ministry has said, will kill the adult mosquitoes which carry mosquito borne diseases.
To ensure that the fogging exercise is most effective, residents in the targeted communities are reminded to open their windows to allow the fog mist into the buildings to kill the adult mosquitoes. To avoid any health problems, residents are reminded to cover all drinking water and secure all food stuff (Uncooked and Cooked) to prevent possible contamination, secure all domestic animals and poultry, and to keep persons who suffer from asthmatic conditions, young children and the elderly away from the direct flow of fog.
The continued fogging exercise is being conducted daily from 05:30 hours (5:30am) daily to 22:30 hours (10:30pm).
Fogging will be conducted on June 19th, 2014 in the following areas: Lacytown, Stabroek, Bourda, Cummingsburg, Alberttown, Queenstown and Newtown.
And then on June 20th 2014 fogging will continue in: Campbellville, Prashad Nagar, Bel Air, Bel Air Springs, Subryanville and Kitty.
One June 21, 2014 the areas identified for fogging are: North Sophia, South Sophia and Kingston.
The Ministry of Health reminds Guyanese that Vector Control is a partnership. While the Ministry of Health will conduct this fogging exercise, residents are encouraged to keep their yards clean by removing all empty containers that can accumulate water to breed mosquitoes. Citizens are also urged to always sleep under mosquito nets so as to prevent mosquito borne diseases.
