A quality committee of the Ministry of Health on Saturday discovered the presence of an insect likely to cause a health disaster in parts of Muscat.
The National Committee for Integrated Vector Management of the Ministry of Health of Oman held an extraordinary meeting to discuss efforts and procedures for the eradication of the Egyptian eagle, the main cause of the virus of the yellow fever "dengue".
The Committee appealed to Omani citizens and residents to cooperate with the investigation and control teams to facilitate the tasks of their work for the public good.
The committee also urged citizens to deal with the bug several times, including the need to empty the water tanks and brush their hair every five days.
The Committee also urged citizens to get rid of water recovered in air conditioners and to change the water fans and other places of water collection.
The Committee stressed the importance of changing the water in animal and bird drinking vessels and brushing their teeth before filling them every five days, as well as covering the water tanks, which they are on the roofs of houses or on the ground of tanks.
The Committee asked citizens to dispose of used tires and to properly dispose of empty coloring cans and damaged household utensils.
Egyptian eagles are the main vectors of many deadly viruses, including yellow fever, zika and chikungunya, and are scattered throughout the tropics and sub-tropics of the world.
