Contamination risk
The Department of Health also issued a new warning this Saturday with the ten districts at the highest risk of dengue transmission. They are: Santa Bárbara Park, Fazendinha Park, Jardim Andorinhas, Jambeiro Park, Vida Nova, DIC 3, DIC V de Março, Carlos Mariguela, Jardim Garcia and Vila Castelo Branco. The statement drew residents’ attention to the risk of the disease and the importance of eliminating breeding grounds for the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
It is worth mentioning that Campinas has an Arbovirus Prevention and Control Committee that performs disease control and prevention. The Department of Health reminds, however, that the participation of the population is essential for the correct disposal of waste to avoid breeding places of the dengue mosquito, which in 80% of cases is found inside homes.
According to Pasta, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the technicians of the town hall continued to carry out visits and nebulizations. Between 1 January and 31 October this year, 594,566 properties were visited by health teams. In all, 176,323 locations in broadcasting areas were fogged up.
