An infestation index of 0.66, with some twenty confirmed outbreaks, puts the municipality of Morón in Ciego de Avila in a difficult epidemiological situation due to the presence of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the main cause of dangerous diseases such as Dengue, Zica and chikungunya.
According to Norman Gutiérrez Villa, director of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the territory, carrying out the autofocal is still insufficient, while the citizen conscience has to project its insistence on responsibility and demand more.
In Morón we have a high rate of closed houses, where outbreaks can proliferate, warned Gutiérrez Villa, who was categorical in stating that as many measures as necessary must be adopted to mitigate the proliferation of the vector.
He indicated that the shortage of inputs somewhat slows down fumigation actions in the required cases, although alternatives are being sought to deal with the situation that arises in workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities.
