What is Dengue??

 Dengue fever also known as break-bone fever. It is an illness caused by a virus that is spread through mosquito bites. Dengue is spread by a type of infected mosquito called the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The mosquito bites throughout the day and night.Symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, rash, and pain in the eyes, joints, and muscles. In several cases, dengue can cause death!!


Inspection at home campaign

The campaign encourages public to do inspection at home and destroy all breeding sites. 30 minutes Weekly Sunday Home Inspection should carried out in every home to ensure there are no or potential that can be Aedes mosquito breeding site..
