Asunción, IP Agency.- In the face of the high level of dengue cases registered in the district of Capiatá, the local municipality boosted the environmental minga, with support from the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (Mades), SENEPA, the National Police, FF.AA, Ministry of Health Public and the Government of the Central department.
This operation, framed in the fight once morest dengue, involved the residents of the Aratiri neighborhood, as well as the city’s vital forces, extending to other areas of Capiatá. The inter-institutional work day began in the Plaza Sagrada Familia, in the aforementioned Capiateño neighborhood.

The residents of the area were urged to review and eliminate possible breeding sites in their respective homes, as well as to join forces to continue combating the proliferation of Aedes Aegytis, a mosquito that transmits Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya.

Similar to this procedure, it is planned to be carried out in other districts, as long as each municipality can request inter-institutional reinforcement, since they are the ones that must present an environmental contingency plan.

Likewise, Mades, through the General Directorate of Environmental Management, delivered differentiated container bins to the municipality for the implementation of the Comprehensive Urban Solid Waste Management plan in the institution, to promote the correct separation of the same and contribute to good environmental practices.
