A special dengue control programme organised by the National Dengue Control Unit will commence today (Nov. 09). The programme is scheduled to be conducted islandwide from today until Nov. 14. The National Dengue Control Unit said the programme would cover 74 Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas identified as being at risk of dengue outbreaks. Activities during the week will include coordinating operations in the relevant MOH areas, deploying joint dengue inspection teams, destroying mosquito breeding sites, cleaning premises without owners, organising special cleaning programmes at schools, pirivenas, universities and religious institutions, and monitoring daily activities through an operations room. In addition to the National Dengue Control Unit, several other partner organisations will participate in the programme, including the Ministry of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government, the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat, the Sri Lanka Police, the tri-forces and various voluntary organisations.
