Thaib urged people to stay vigilant, and keep the environment clean. Expect at least once a week for environmental cleanup activities that do not provide an opportunity for cikungunya carrying mosquitoes breed. Cikungunya disease begins with the bite of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These mosquitoes breed in unclean environments, therefore, every family must make every effort to open the bedroom window during the day. (IRN)
