In response to a marked increase in mosquito populations across multiple species islandwide, particularly nuisance mosquitoes in and around domestic spaces, the Ministry of Health and Wellness says it has intensified its vector-control interventions and public education.
Portfolio Minister, Dr. Christopher Tufton, has informed that community-based vector-control workers have been activated across the Regional Health Authorities and Parish Health Departments.
In addition, fogging operations have been intensified in high-risk communities and institutions as part of the Ministry’s expanded response to the mosquito surge.
Dr. Tufton further indicated that a national clean-up programme will be undertaken, with additional details to be announced.
