A female Aedes mosquito gets infected with the Dengue virus when it bites a person infected with dengue. It then transmits dengue to other healthy individuals it goes on to bite.
Help to break the dengue transmission cycle!
✅ Everyone should use insect repellent and carry out other S-A-W actions to protect themselves from being bitten by mosquitoes.
✅ Those diagnosed with or suspected to be infected with dengue are also advised to avoid further mosquito bites, to prevent passing on the Dengue virus to mosquitoes and other people in their neighbourhoods.
S-A-W:
✅ Spray insecticide in dark corners around the house
✅ Apply insect repellent regularly
✅ Wear long-sleeve tops and long pants
