“People must have self-awareness to always maintain cleanliness, by frequently cleaning around the house, and always pay attention to places where standing water such as gutters are always cleaned,” he said.
The former president director of the Bolsel Hospital also said that from January to November 2021, 11 people had been infected with dengue fever, while in 2020 12 people were exposed to DPD.
