Ninh Binh intensifies measures against dengue fever
(VOV) - Measures to prevent a possible outbreak of dengue fever are being carried out in northern Ninh Binh province after five cases have been detected in the locality since July.
According to Nguyen Ngoc Phu, doctor at the provincial Preventive Health Centre, local people should raise awareness of prevention requirements as the current rainy season is a hotbed for mosquito larvae to breed.
The patients in the province got the disease after travelling to outside the locality, Phu said.
Provincial Department of Health asked all individuals and relevant agencies to control the risks of epidemics in residential areas by cleaning up the environment, spraying chemicals to kill mosquito and going to doctor and hospitals for timely treatment.
