Authorities on alert after 20,000 cases of dengue in Colombia
Apr 05, 2019, 21:47 pm7
This week the alarms were ignited in New Granada territory, after the dissemination of the last report of the Ministry of Health, in which they indicate that so far in 2019, there are 22,000 cases of dengue in Colombia.
The information was provided by Minister Juan Pablo Uribe, who said: "We are on alert about dengue, we are in a year of epidemiological peak and we want to cut the virus's wings".
The minister added that Colombia is below the moderation of the epidemiological peak for 2019. But, that there are more cases of the disease than in previous years, and that is why the government does not want to lower its guard.
He urged all the communities to take preventive measures, to avoid the reproduction of the mosquito transmitter; at the time he commented that with the arrival of winter the disease may increase.
According to Uribe, the department of Santander is one of the areas with the most cases of dengue in Colombia; even the possibility arose that two people would have died because of this evil.
Regarding the attention of the Venezuelan population, he said that soon the government will turn over more resources so that medical attention continues to be provided to this population that arrives in Santander.
Sharpening strategies
In another order of ideas, but within the framework of the dengue situation, it was learned that in the Argentine province of Misiones are developing new plans to strengthen prevention.
They are currently carrying out fumigation and discarding work to eliminate the agent that transmits the dengue: Aedes Aegypti. However, not everything ends there, as the health authorities consider it vital that the entire society be involved in the elimination of potential domiciliary hatcheries.
Therefore, they decided to implement a new strategy: to strengthen the pedagogical work in the classrooms. From the provincial health ministry they pointed out that students are information replicating agents, and therefore they are key in this process.
"The idea is to continue carrying this information, because dengue has to see a lot with the attitude of each person; especially with regard to home care and prevention. Last year we worked with many elementary schools and this year we focused on high schools. " This was pointed out by the biologist Fabricio Tejerina, who dictates the talks.
