The programme will be implemented in schools, pre-schools, private educational institutions and all other related learning environments, focusing on eliminating mosquito breeding sites.

Under the initiative, dengue prevention activities will also be conducted tomorrow (19), targeting all government and private sector institutions as well as industrial establishments.
In addition, the campaign will extend to private homes and surrounding residential areas on June 20.
