How to Prevent Dengue?

We should wear full sleeve clothes. We should cover all the body completely while sleeping. We should keep our environment neat and clean. We should not pour water in the containers for more than our usage because it helps them to increase their race.

We should cover all the water containers and bottles because in the water the mosquitoes can lay their eggs. We should use the mosquito nets while sleeping. We should use oils and mosquito repellents to avoid the Dengue fever.

We should use some insecticides and sprays. We should raise awareness among the people about the dangerous impacts of dengue virus in our society.
