Ruili, a border city in Southwest China's Yunnan, is gearing up for a public health campaign as the city faces the dual risks of dengue fever and COVID-19.

The campaign will focus on eradicating breeding ground of mosquitos, especially in schools, construction sites, villages, parks and deserted factories, local officials stressed at a recent meeting aiming to address the risk posed by dual risk of dengue fever and COVID-19.

As part of response to prevent dengue fever risk, local governments have made a comprehensive mobilization: residential communities are suggested to train doctors with knowledge and techniques and send out leaflets relating to dengue fever. Hospitals and clinics are required to optimize monitoring and diagnosis of the disease.
