The Vector Control Unit of the Ministry of Health and Wellness will be stepping up its mosquito reduction exercise by visiting six parishes this week.
On Monday the team will target areas in St John and St Philip. These include College Savannah with avenues, Fortescue, St Mark’s, Consent Bay, Blades Hill, and Three Houses.
The next day the following districts in St Michael, will be sprayed: Station Hill, Goodings Road with avenues, Bellevue Gap, and Deane’s Village.
The Unit will go into Christ Church on Wednesday and fog Parish Land, Thyme Bottom, Fairy Valley, and surrounding communities.
On Thursday the Unit will visit districts in St James and St Thomas. They are Bagatelle Terrace with avenues, Kew Road, Redmans Village, Hoyte’s Village, and environs.
The fogging exercise for the week will conclude in Christ Church, on Friday, when the team goes into Coverley Drive, Coverley Stage 2, Coverley Gardens, Pilgrim Road, Pilgrim Palms, Pilgrim Place A and B, and neighbouring districts.
Fogging takes place from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. daily. Householders are reminded to open their windows and doors to allow the spray to enter. Children should not be allowed to play in the spray.
Members of the public are advised that the completion of scheduled fogging activities may be affected by events beyond the Unit’s control. In such circumstances, the Unit will return to communities affected in the soonest possible time. (PR)
