Several sub-districts in Bintan Regency are endemic areas. So there are dengue cases there. In addition, it often rains during this period, so many Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes breed.

Then there are various symptoms. Starting with a high fever of up to 40 degrees, flushing of the face, flushed skin, pain all over the body, headache, nausea and vomiting, throat infections and pain around the eyeballs.

That is to participate and take care of the cleanliness of the environment and carry forward the 3M plus movement.
