Mayabeque, Cuba: The active health research, one of the tools used in Güines during the confrontation with COVID-19, is maintained for the prevention of dengue and other arboviruses.
Surveys are carried out daily in the communities with the collaboration of the doctors and nurses and other support staff, not only in search of respiratory symptoms, but also fever, rash and general disorder.
The territory currently has evaluated the risk in several Popular Councils, in addition to population settlements such as: Osvaldo Sánchez, La Riva, Río Seco, among others.
The Directorate of Public Health in the municipality activates a command post and alerts about the appearance of the vector.
The greatest efforts are concentrated in these places to prevent the spread of mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, which transmits the virus of dengue, yellow fever, Zika and chikungunya.
They also carry out adulticidal treatment, through which they eliminate the adult mosquito and thus interrupt the insect’s reproductive cycle.
