Having acquired eight new fogging machines, the Hanover Health Department (HHD) is now confident that it can reduce the Aedes aegypti mosquito index in the parish to below the target of five per cent.
The Thermal Swing Foggers were donated by Americares, an international charitable organisation that carries out health assistance programmes in several countries around the world.
“They (Americares) were the donors that were at Chester Castle with us immediately after Hurricane Melissa,” said Aldwayne Beckford, parish manager at the Hanover Health Department, referring to the group which had set up a Type 2 field health clinic after the hurricane.
