Dengue fever appears to be popping up in the lakeshore area, with Chapala health authorities registering the year’s first confirmed case of the disease last week.
The municipal government immediately responded to the incident by sending out a task force to launch a junk cleanup and collection program in the upper Chapala neighborhood where the dengue victim resides. Residents are being encouraged to dispose of any unused containers and objects that may fill up with rainwater and provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes that transmit the virus.
