Stop mosquitoes breeding
- Empty standing water every few days — flower pots, tyres, buckets, AC trays and roof corners.
- Cover water storage containers tightly.
- Clear drains and rubbish around the house.
Avoid bites
- Use a mosquito net, including during daytime naps — the dengue mosquito bites by day.
- Wear long sleeves and use repellent where advised.
See a doctor if you notice
- High fever with severe headache, pain behind the eyes, or body aches
- Vomiting, belly pain, bleeding gums or nose, or unusual tiredness — come immediately
