Due to a new case of dengue fever detected in Faa’a, a mosquito control operation has been scheduled in Vaitea. A first spraying was carried out this Monday morning and two other actions will be carried out on Thursday and Friday. The objective is to avoid any risk of spreading the virus via mosquitoes in the neighborhood.
So the:
• Thursday January 25, a clearance will be carried out in the same area with an intervention inside the properties subject to the presence of the owner and his agreement.
