urban and semi-urban areas. The virus responsible for
causing dengue, is called dengue virus (DENV). There
are 5 ways to prevent the dengue virus. Firstly, we
have to prevent mosquito habitats.
We have to eliminate unnecessary containers that can
collect water and make sure our drain is not clogged
and full of trash because mosquitos like to breed there.
In addition, we can also keep our doors and windows
closed as much as possible, or invest in insect screens.
Besides that, wear long sleeves and bright clothes to
protect our skin from mosquito bites. Avoiding areas
that are prone to mosquitoes is also a way to prevent
dengue. Lastly, on weekends we can do communal
work with our family members to keep our
environment clean by picking up trash and composting
all of our biodegradable waste or we can send it to the
recycling centre.
In conclusion, we to be vigilant of our surroundings and
always keep clean. As a reminder, dengue is a deadly
virus and we could lose our loved ones because of it.
