The situation requires attention from both the authorities and the population, as the continuous increase in dengue cases represents a challenge for public health. Transmitting mosquito prevention and control measures are essential to contain the dissemination of the disease. The Health Department is reinforcing the importance of eliminating breeding grounds in the Aedes aegypti mosquito, responsible for the transmission of dengue.
