Informed citizens play an important role in protecting community health and preventing the spread of dengue fever
Stay Informed and Act Together
- Awareness is a powerful tool against dengue. Learn the symptoms—such as fever, headache, and rash—and share this knowledge with neighbors and friends. When communities act together by cleaning shared spaces and reporting outbreaks, the spread of Aedes mosquitoes can be controlled quickly. Informed citizens are the strongest defense against dengue epidemics
Protect Yourself from Bites
- Mosquito bites are the only way dengue spreads, so personal protection is critical. Use repellents on exposed skin, wear long sleeves and pants, and sleep under mosquito nets—especially during the day when Aedes mosquitoes are most active. These simple habits reduce your risk of infection and keep your household safe
Eliminate Standing Water
- Aedes mosquitoes breed in even the smallest collections of water. Buckets, flower pots, tires, and uncovered tanks are perfect places for them to multiply. By regularly emptying, cleaning, or covering these containers, you remove their breeding sites and protect your family from dengue fever. Prevention starts at home, and every small action makes a big difference.
