Clean up dengue act

Share post:

WITH DENGUE on the rise, we now have roughly 200 cases.

Every day we are bombarded with the information, but bothersome is that we the public are not adhering to the many warnings given.

Just talk and the occasional fogging won’t be enough.

There are a number of spots in need of a good cleaning. These include wells at The Ivy in St Michael, which have been holding stagnant waters for years.

And at Licorish Village, also in St Michael, you’ll find many vacant lots overrun by bush which folks use as garbage dumps.  Dengue is serious and should not be taken lightly.
