so that during the last week more than 3,800 hectares were fumigated and more than 7 thousand ovitrampas were reviewed,
where it was observed that the indicator remains at emergency levels

eliminating tires, containers, cans and any other item that can store water and promote its reproduction,
such as drums, water tanks, pots, pots, vases, fountains , cover threads and tires.

you should reinforce individual protection measures, in addition,
if you return to the first week fever, malaise, headache, head and eyes, you should see a doctor immediately.
