The district assembly, in partnership with Zoomlion, a waste management and environmental services company, took action by conducting a fumigation exercise in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fumigation exercise was aimed at reducing the population of mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects in the area. Zoomlion had been contracted to provide the service, and the team arrived with all the necessary equipment and chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team worked tirelessly, going from office to office, spraying the chemicals in every corner of the building. They also sprayed open drains along the principal streets of the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the team worked, they educated the residents on the importance of fumigation in controlling the spread of vector-borne diseases. They also emphasized the need for proper sanitation and waste management to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and other diseases vectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011-1024x461.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1968\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011-1024x461.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011-300x135.jpg 300w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011-768x346.jpg 768w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011-368x166.jpg 368w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0011.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"461\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0010-461x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1970\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0010-461x1024.jpg 461w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0010-135x300.jpg 135w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0010-90x200.jpg 90w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0010.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"461\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0012-461x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1967\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0012-461x1024.jpg 461w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0012-135x300.jpg 135w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0012-90x200.jpg 90w, http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20220114-WA0012.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environmental-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1964"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1971,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964\/revisions\/1971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stda.gov.gh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
