Preventing and controlling dengue in schools is crucial because the campus provides multiple breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Dengue is a day bitter. With numerous children entering and leaving daily, a mosquito carrying the virus can quickly spread dengue to various localities. Regular checks of the school campus are essential to eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites, such as water-filled containers. Since body temperature in children is higher, they dissipate a lot of heat and sweat which makes them a good meal.
School campuses are hotbeds for mosquito breeding, making dengue prevention and control crucial. With children in constant motion, the risk of dengue spreading through the locality is high.
