A case of dengue fever in Nîmes has just been confirmed this Wednesday at the end of the day. A case… imported. i.e. someone returning from a trip. The ARS, the Regional Health Agency, retraced his journey and studied the places where this person may have stayed. The arena sector in particular has been closely studied, but a priori nothing to worry regarding. A mosquito control campaign is still underway, in another district of the city.
It’s the tiger mosquito which is vector of dengue.
The operation of mosquito control will take place between rue Espérandieu and rue Henri Revoil. It will take place on the night of Thursday to Friday. Residents have been warned.
