Following the passage of Typhoon Baryjoy, Changhua City's cleaning team is launching a "water accumulation inspection" campaign to combat mosquito-borne diseases. The initiative encourages residents to actively participate in eliminating potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

The campaign emphasizes the critical role of households in preventing the spread of mosquitoes. Officials are reminding citizens that even small containers capable of holding water can become ideal nurseries for mosquito larvae. This proactive approach aims to curb the mosquito population before it can escalate.

Residents are urged to conduct thorough checks around their homes and properties for any accumulated water. By diligently emptying containers, clearing drains, and addressing any potential water collection points, the community can collectively work towards a mosquito-free environment and reduce the risk of diseases like dengue fever.
