The state agency urged the population to take preventive measures to avoid insects or vectors, transmitters of diseases such as dengue, in the family and work environment, which are: extreme cleanliness inside and outside the home because insects take advantage of any place where there is stagnant water to deposit their eggs, therefore puddles or objects where water accumulates, which are in patios, roofs and garages, must be eliminated.
Remove grass from the outside of the home, as well as have mosquito nets or meshes on doors and windows, to prevent mosquitoes from entering, and eliminate any useless objects such as bottles, cans or tires in which rain can accumulate. It is also recommended to use insect repellents on exposed parts of the body and avoid sleeping outdoors, as it increases the risk of being infected. If you present symptoms such as fever, headache or muscle pain, fatigue, general malaise or bleeding, you should go to the nearest health unit to be evaluated by a doctor and start treatment if the disease is confirmed.
