Public-health squad swarms South Pattaya apartment after dengue outbreak

PATTAYA:--Pattaya public health teams converged on the Soi Khopai Community after two residents came down with dengue fever.

 

The health department officers, joined by Surveillance and Rapid Response Team volunteers, destroyed breeding grounds for dengue-carrying mosquitos at an apartment complex on Soi Sukrudee 2 Feb. 11. They dumped water sources, flipped over buckets and containers and dropped abate into puddles and other standing water.

 

Volunteers then spread out, educating residents about how dengue spreads and advised them to wear long-sleeved shirts and apply insect repellant until the threat has subsided.

 

The visit came after an adult and child living in the complex contracted dengue from mosquitos buzzing around all the standing water there. Both are being treated at Banglamung Hospital.

 

Anyone requiring mosquito abate or fumigation can call the Public Health Department at 038-429-738.

"Advised them to wear long-sleeved shirts."
 
Maybe these officers should practice what they preach?

The Aedes mosquito which transmits dengue fever is active approximately 2 hours after sunrise and several hours after sunset. So if these personnel were attending during normal business hours, there would be minimal need for them to wear long sleeves. But nice of you to have the first post as a bash.

Where did you get that incorrect information from? So these mosquitoes of yours can see in the dark!

Or did you change it to make some point?

Nope. Didn’t change it to make a point. I was just incorrect. A mistake on my part.

My estate has five confirmed cases of dengue.  The health officials came round to smoke the neighbourhood.  Despite advanced notice, many residents did not open their gates in case their dog got a cough.

I like that name, Rapid Response Team! sounds so important!

It’s all funny until you get the dengue.

 

its like a torture with no help insight .

 

no medication , nothing to make you feel better .

 

good to see officials did something about it

This is a Pattaya topic so mentioning  smoking could give some readers the wrong idea about what these health officials were actually doing, especially for those that did open their gates ????????

Where in Pattaya is this? I'm gettting a bit worried when I hear about Dengue in my city. 

 

This is very worrying. What % of foreigners are actually vaccinated in Thailand. 

Is prevention not better than the cure?

Sorry if some on here live there nothing personal.

I am no expert on any of this.

Last year I looked at a condo at Nurin Condo complex.

The place was offered at 800,000 b for a studio. Seems pretty good.

But, I saw this place as a filthy hole with a big potential for disease spreading.

All the old aircons probably never been cleaned for years.

I saw rats and filth everywhere no one seems to care seems like a sickness breeding ground.

It is packed with people and truly would be my impression of a ghetto.

Maybe there are other places like this in town, but it sure stood out to me.

I surely hope those that live in Nurin take precautions and take good care of their health.

Just don't rent anywhere close to soi sukbluddee, it's a Valhalla for dengue distributors.
