(PRENSA LATINA) – “There are various ongoing activities this week to promote control of the disease and prevent its transmission”, said Deputy Minister of Promotion and Epidemiological Surveillance, Max Enríquez.

He told a press conference that this year the campaign will focus on eliminating mosquitoes so that all levels of government in regions subject to mid to high disease risk foster a gamut of actions, from clinical management of patients to the delivery of essential inputs to keep insects at bay.

This way, health authorities seek to eliminate breeding grounds, while protecting individuals.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
