HAVANA, May 28 (Manuel David Orrio, CPI / www.cubanet.org) - Rental housing
units in central Havana will be sprayed weekly against the aedes aegypti
mosquito from now on, since public health authorities say the bulk of dengue
cases in the area are attributable to migrants from eastern Cuba living in such
units.
Havana has been subject to an intensive mosquito-control campaign during the
last three months, focusing on the mosquito that transmits dengue fever.
The latest measure provides that renters who don't cooperate with the
spraying efforts will be fined 1,500 pesos. Spray crews are informing residents
on what day and approximately at what time they will visit each household.
