flag Jamaica warns residents: Face prosecution for removing mosquito controls to prevent dengue.

The St Ann Health Department in Jamaica is warning residents that removing covers from water containers, which are placed to prevent mosquito breeding, could lead to prosecution. Despite a significant decrease in dengue cases, with no cases since December, officials remain vigilant, conducting fogging and urging residents to eliminate breeding sites. There have been 10 suspected dengue cases this year, and health officials are concerned about the rise in dengue globally. Dr. Tamara Henry encourages the community to help prevent mosquito breeding to avoid another outbreak.
