The Ministry of Health is urging citizens to take preventative action against mosquito bites during the rainy season.
The Ministry has highlighted that the Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for transmitting diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika. While no increase in Dengue Fever cases has been reported at Accident and Emergency Departments across Trinidad and Tobago, the Ministry continues active surveillance.
