Battle Against Dengue Fever Begins in Earnest

With the goal of eradicating dengue fever in the municipality, the Sinaloa Secretary of Health and Mayor Carlos Felton inaugurated yesterday a “macro operation” involving 300 workers who will go door-to-door in the 20 colonias most vulnerable to the disease. The idea, said the Secretary, is to fumigate Mazatlán little by little.
Under the banner “Que el dengue no te dé depende de ti,” workers will hand out information brochures to citizens at major intersections outlining ways to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.
The State will spend 40 million pesos on the campaign in Sinaloa which reported 699 confirmed cases of dengue, the highest in the country. (from Noroeste)
