Camagüey, Cuba, Jul 12nd.- Resolving the lack of personnel linked to focal and adulticide treatment actions is today one of the most urgent tasks in the capital of Camagüey to improve health indicators linked to the dengue virus.

With an incidence rate of 69.7, well above the permissible rates, in the municipality it is necessary to rescue practices from previous moments that demonstrated effectiveness in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the transmitting agent of several arboviral diseases.

Governor Jorge Enrique Sutil Sarabria called in the exchange with Public Health executives and community leaders to «seek greater opportunity and organization to make actions sustainable» and to achieve multisectoral work.

The Joaquín de Agüero polyclinic presents the highest reactivity index, although in all health areas there are confirmed cases of dengue, which remain in home admission as long as they do not present alarm signs.

To reverse the current epidemiological panorama, it is necessary to strengthen the investigation in the neighborhoods, reach each house and apply the adequate techniques in the blocks where people positive for the dengue virus are detected.

To contribute to the sanitization of the Ciudad de los Tinajones, next Sunday a mobilization will be organized with forces from all the demarcations of Camagüey, in which members of student and mass organizations also participate.
