Health Minister announces fines after dengue case surge

With there now being 229 lab-confirmed dengue cases and two confirmed deaths, fines of $3,500 are expected for citizens if their premises become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Speaking on The Morning Brew earlier today, Deyalsingh said that there has been a 300 per cent increase in dengue cases in the Caribbean region and urges citizens to do their part in preventing further spread.

[@Ishta318]

I agree, I live next to a mini mart, where people buy , eat, drink their stuff, and throw their litter around my property and in the drain, I have to constantly be picking up rubbish , I've had dengue three times, the drains are also clogged, and no one cleans it, I have medical problems so it's impossible for me to clean it

[@lilly-qh8el]

@@Ishta318 girl sorry for your plight i live on the main road where people dum rubbish all day and it blows into the property or sticks into the gate..but sadly you cannot clean up after everyone who has this dirty habbit...enjoy your day chick....
