Campaign against mosquito breeding
With the approach of the summer season, the Health Education Unit of the Department of Health will launch a campaign in April and May against mosquito breeding.
During the period, the Hygiene Division's 24-hour hotline 2380 2580 will provide a message in the form of drama on mosquito prevention.
"Callers can also obtain related information through facsimile from this system," a spokesman for the department said today (Wednesday).
Entitled "Remove stagnant water to eliminate mosquito breeding", the campaign is sponsored by the Urban and Regional councils.
It aims to remind building contractors and households to take preventive measures to reduce mosquito nuisance and prevent mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria.
"To prevent mosquito infestation, it is important to eliminate all stagnant water which is the potential breeding ground for mosquitoes," the spokesman said.
"Contractors should inspect their construction sites regularly to ensure that there are no abandoned containers and empty tins holding water.
"They should pump and drain stagnant water in holes, trenches and hollow spaces and fill them up with soil.
"Spray a thin layer of diesel oil on the water surface if draining of stagnant water is impossible," he said.
