The official warned that a series of rains are predicted, which will generate a accumulation of water, “now that the streets have been inspected, on the rooftops we do not have a good slope and accumulations of water are generated, these accumulations are enough to make reservoirs, so we invite our people from Aguascalientes to be careful, to check carefully after it rains, because sometimes we think it’s a pond, but the problem is at home.”
Galaviz Tristán mentioned that due to climate change, various behaviors have occurred in the distribution of the dengue mosquito, which normally comes from tropical, semi-tropical and northern areas of the country; however, the center has been affected and Aguascalientes is immersed.
The official said that fogging operations are maintained and will even be intensified, “it is important that people know that our personnel are going to the streets preventing the spread of a vector that can generate a bigger problem then.”
The head of ISSEA added that the fumigations are carried out in various neighborhoods and at appropriate times so as not to disturb the population, he said that at the moment 1,800 hectares of the area considered to be at highest risk have been covered, such as the Gómez Portugal neighborhood, where, according to him, the highest incidence of this condition has been detected.
