Representative Clodovil Hernandes, who has just presented a project in the Chamber of Deputies for the union of civil partnerships between homosexuals, felt unwell, with severe body pain and flu-like symptoms, and was hospitalized in São Paulo with suspected dengue fever. He remains under observation until the tests are carried out and the suspicion is ruled out. There is a possibility that the deputy contracted the disease close to his home in Ubatuba, on the north coast of São Paulo, since the disease rates in the city have been high. Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes Aedes aegypti. Symptoms are fever, prostration, headache and generalized muscle pain. Next Saturday, 31/3, the government of the State of São Paulo will hold “D-Day” to combat dengue. The Environmental Sanitation Technology Center (Cetesb) will install tents with laboratory equipment in three parks in the capital to show the population the entire mosquito life cycle. Using microscopes, the public who frequents the Villa-Lobos (west zone), Horto Florestal (north zone) and Zoo (south zone) parks will be able to see the eggs, larvae and adult mosquitoes up close. It is important to remember that simple measures such as closing barrels and barrels tightly, covering water tanks, emptying unused bottles and storing them with the neck down, as well as putting sand in the dishes of plant pots, already help to combat procreation. of the mosquito.
