The first index of infestation in the Aedes aegypti (Liraa) Survey for the year shows an index of 3.8%. The survey, published last Monday (14), estimates the rate of infestation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito transmitting dengue, zika and chikungunya. The index is high because the maximum allowed by the Ministry of Health is 1%.

Fachini (18.2%), Santa Clara I (15.7%) and Jardim Europa II (14.3%) were the places with the highest rates. In the survey, all neighborhoods were visited by agents of Endemias between January 7 and 11. Because of the rain during the period, the work was resumed according to the methodology of the Ministry of Health, but all within the prescribed deadlines.

According to the coordinator of Endemias Selídio José Schmitt, the figures are alarming and reveal an extra figure. since the population still leaves aside the care of the house and the yard. "History repeats itself because the climate of rain and heat favors the infestation of mosquitoes and many people go on vacation and leave the property alone, without care or at the end of the year, receive many visits and forget some basic care "

VILÕES

During the inspection of residences, Endemias agents found larvae of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in several containers, the main villains being the bowl pot and drums to collect rainwater. Schmitt also says that there is no fancy in many courses where the team has found buckets and old tires thrown out, suitable places to store stagnant water and where the danger is still present .

The coordinator stresses that the public must work together to reduce these indices. As of Tuesday (15), the Endemias team returns to the field mainly in the localities where the infestation is more serious. "We will prioritize actions in these localities to lower the indices.Our agents will guide, alert and bill the population for care.Only the public power does not work alone."

AMENDES

In In December, several fines were imposed in places where people were already repeat offenders. Schmitt says the team first informed the residence that he had a larva on Thursday. After 60 days, if the team finds the larva in this residence, a new notification and a fine are applied. The fines can go up to 20 URT and in case of recidivism, the amount is doubled. Each URT equals R $ 75.90.
