Dear Students,
The rainy season is most conducive for vector borne diseases like Dengue, Chikungunya &Malaria which spread during this time every year. These are all mosquito generated diseases and sometimes gain epidemic proportions if preventive measures are not taken. Prevention is the best method to control any disease. In order to control and prevent the outbreak of Dengue, Chikungunya & Malaria, it is essential to prevent breeding of mosquitoes and you must follow the awareness instructions at home -
• To avoid mosquito bites, wear full-sleeved winter school uniform .Use mosquito repellents. Put wire mesh on doors and windows to prevent entry of mosquitoes.
• Cover all water tanks and containers with well fitted lids to prevent breeding of mosquitoes.
• All overhead and other water tanks / containers are kept properly covered with lid and overflow pipe/ air vent are covered with wire mesh/cloth. In case of missing/broken lids matter may be taken up with PWD on priority.
• All coolers should be scrubbed and cleaned once a week and mopped dry before refilling
water. In coolers that cannot be emptied, put one tablespoon of Petrol/Diesel.
• All unused containers, junk materials, tyres, coconut shells etc. should be properly disposed off.
• Change water in flower vases, plant pots, bird pots every week to prevent mosquito breeding.
• Cover the toilet seat if going out of home for more than a week.
• Use bed nets at home and hospital during dengue fever to prevent mosquito bite and to interrupt transmission. Use aerosol, vaporizers (coils / mats) during day time.
• Don’t allow water to stagnate in and around houses.
Stay Safe Stay Healthy!
