#SGDengueUpdate 55% less Aedes mosquito breeding was detected at constructions sites in Aug compared to Jul, but there are still some sites with multiple mosquito breeding habitats, and habitats with profuse breeding or repeated breeding. Enforcement actions will be taken against these sites. If you see any potential mosquito breeding spots, contact us at www.nea.gov.sg/feedback, or through the myENV app (www.nea.gov.sg/myenv). Let’s fight dengue together!

We love that many of you are recycling, but have you been doing it right? Big carton boxes can be difficult to fit into the blue recycling bins. Instead of leaving them next to the bin, fold or cut them up so that they can be placed IN the bins! #RecycleRight

Think it’s impossible for mosquito eggs to hatch in your dish tray, mere inches away from your cups and plates? It certainly isn’t. All mosquitoes need is a 20 cent-sized drop of water to breed. Time to do a thorough check in your house! #MozzieWipeout https://go.gov.sg/dengue-checklist

Thinking of getting a ultraviolet-C (UVC) steriliser for home use? Don’t!

If proper protection measures are not taken, UVC radiation can cause eye and skin injuries. A more effective method is to wipe down surfaces with a disinfectant. The full advisory on the use of UVC sterilisers in the home is available at www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/radiation-safety/advisory-on-the-use-of-uvc-sterilisers-in-the-home

The number of weekly dengue cases has declined by more than 50% from its peak this year. However, a 12% increase in the Aedes aegypti mosquito population was detected in the last 3 weeks.

So let’s not let our guard down; continue doing the #MozzieWipeout at least once a week and taking protective actions (go.gov.sg/stopdenguenow). You can also get regular alerts on areas with higher Aedes mosquito population and dengue clusters on myENV app (www.nea.gov.sg/myENV) with this step-by-step guide!

Do you know where are the favourite places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs?
 
Pails, flower pot plates/trays and ornamental vases are some of the persistent mosquito breeding habitats in homes. It’s time to search for and destroy these breeding habitats! If you’re not sure how, get started here: https://go.gov.sg/dengue-checklist #MozzieWipeout

Heading to the beach for water activities? Check out the Beach Short-term Water Quality Information (BSWI) for 7 popular recreational beaches at www.nea.gov.sg/BSWI and the myENV App first. Here’s a summary of the bandings, accompanying advisories and recommended actions.
