Georgetown: The Public Health Department of the Mayor and City Council carried out over three hundred and twenty (320) inspections to houses, cottages, yards and conveniences, common lodging houses and hairdressers.
During those inspections eighty one (81) mosquito breeding placing were found in yards, in different sections. However, sixty five (65) of those breeding places were treated by the Council's Vector Control Section.
The Council is calling on residents in local communities to pay attention to the efficiency of their roof gutters and to ensure that all overhanging trees are trimmed, to prevent mosquito breeding. Also, the council is asking home-owners to avoid leaving uncovered containers with water standing in yards for long periods and that depressions in yards are filled in.
