PHUKET: The Mayor of Rawai yesterday surveyed areas under his jurisdiction and carried out fogging in high-risk areas in an effort to quell local mosquito breeding.

Joining Mayor Aroon Solos in yesterday’s (June 11) campaign were officers from the Rawai Health Promoting Hospital, village headman, and health volunteers.

In addition to the surveying and fogging, attendees agreed to organise a cleaning activity and campaign for destroying mosquito breeding areas, which will include local residents and students, to prevent residents contracting dengue fever especially the sea gypsy community which is seen to be a high-risk area.
