Greetings!
Dengue Fever
I am asking you to share the attached information tips for preventing dengue and tips to protect children with as much people as possible and that together we may do our best to prevent the breeding of Mosquitoes and the spread of Mosquito borne· diseases.
In St. Vincent and the Grenadines there are 514 confirmed cases and six deaths from Dengue Fever this year. The last report I had from Grenada there were 118 confirmed cases and in St. Lucia 503 confirmed cases.
