Essential Dengue Prevention Tips

Eliminate Mosquito Breeding Sites

• Remove Standing Water: Clear stagnant water in flower pots, old tires, and containers.
• Clean and Cover Water Storage: Regularly clean and tightly cover water storage containers.

Use Mosquito Repellents and Nets

• Apply Insect Repellent: Use repellent on skin and clothing, especially during early morning and late afternoon.
• Sleep Under Mosquito Nets: Use mosquito nets while sleeping.

Wear Protective Clothing
