Dengue fever infections continue to rise across Taiwan and have now exceeded the 6,000 case mark. The Miaoli County Health Bureau and Toufen City Health Center held a Dementia Prevention Day on the 13th. They specially invited the wife of the county magistrate, Chen Meiqi, and others to accompany the elders to make anti-mosquito masks. To prevent dengue fever, Xu Chunshi, director of the health center, said that the largest breeding source of dengue tropical protozoa mosquitoes is outdoor water storage containers. Using mosquito screens to isolate vector mosquitoes from contacting the water to lay eggs can effectively reduce the breeding of vector mosquitoes and prevent the spread of dengue fever.
Toufen City is the most populous township in Miaoli County. Whether in the urban area or in the suburbs, there are still open spaces such as vegetable gardens and some water storage facilities. Such water storage barrels and water tanks are the best breeding spots for dengue fever vector mosquitoes, Xu Chunshi It was pointed out that the current number of confirmed cases of dengue fever infection in China has exceeded 6,000, with the largest increase in Yunlin County. This is because outdoor water storage facilities have become the largest breeding source of vector mosquitoes, leading to a rapid increase in infection cases.
The first case of dengue fever in Miaoli County this year occurred in the Douhuanping camp area of Toufen City. The Toufen City Health Center immediately launched a cleanup and prevention campaign against vector mosquitoes with the Toufen City Office, and fully publicized and persuaded farmers to clear outdoor water storage facilities. However, Still found that getting twice the result with half the effort is because many farmers and people need outdoor water storage facilities when planting fruits and vegetables. After discussing countermeasures with colleagues, Xu Chunshi came up with the concept of adding anti-mosquito covers to water storage barrels, which can not only maintain the water storage facilities to save irrigation water at any time , and can also prevent vector mosquitoes from using stored water to breed.
After the Toufen City Health Center hired a handicraft teacher to help find materials for making mosquito shields, they used large elastic elastic bands to sew on fine mesh, and then put the mosquito shield on the water storage bucket, making it simple and easy to use. Mosquito-proof covers cost less than 20 yuan each.
On the 13th, the Miaoli County Government Health Bureau and Toufen City Health Center jointly held the International Dementia Day. They invited the county magistrate’s wife Chen Meiqi, Miaoli County Deputy Speaker Zhang Shufen and Toufen Mayor Luo Xuezhu to accompany the elders to sew mosquito shields. , let’s prevent the spread of dengue fever together.
