A three-day special mosquito control program has been implemented in eight districts, starting today (27).

 

Accordingly, the mosquito control program will be carried out in the Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara, Ratnapura, Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Matale, and Matara districts where mosquito density is reported to be high.

 

The National Dengue Control Unit (NDCU) pointed out that there is a risk of dengue spreading again due to the ongoing intermittent rains.

Accordingly, houses, schools, workplaces, factories, places of worship, and public places will be inspected.
