THE Ongwediva Town Council last week commenced with its indoor residual spraying campaign, targeting Extension 11, Extension 15 and New Reception after a case was confirmed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ongwediva spokesperson, Jackson Muma, said only one case of malaria was confirmed in that area, however, other locations such as Extension 14, Efidi Extension 4, Sky Phase 1,2 and 3 will also be covered as a remedial effort.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Muma stated that the spraying campaign is carried out annually to prevent the outbreak of malaria.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added that the officials on duty wear green overalls and are at all times accompanied by a council vehicle, hence the community should be vigilant against unauthorised persons pretending to be council workers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Muma emphasised that the in-house spraying is important to ensure total protection from mosquito bites.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He further explained that the council will use Sumi Shield chemical since it is effective in eliminating mosquitoes at an interval of one to three hours after landing on a wall or object with the spray residue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Residents are expected to prepare their houses prior to the spray so as to avoid spillage of the chemicals to other items,” he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Muma lasted noted that it is required that people may return to an area that was sprayed after 30 minutes, while windows should be left opened. <\/p>\n
