Officials mount massive fogging drive to make Hanoi mosquito free

VOV.VN - Local officials announced Monday, August 14, that every ward in the national capital would be fogged as part of a concerted effort to rid the city of mosquitoes and the deadly dengue virus.

The ward has employed roughly 40 fogging machines.


In recent days, the ward has stepped up its campaign to inform citizens of the dates and times of the fogging.

Workers will spray the Lang Thuong Ward on Monday, August 14 and the wards of Lang Ha and Trung Liet tomorrow.

It’s important for workers and residents to join forces to ensure the fogging effectively eliminates mosquitoes and larvae, says Ha Tan Dung from the Hanoi Centre for Preventive Medicine.
