Social Share BARBADOS REMAINS blessed following a close call with dengue but continued vigilance is a must. During a media conference at Illaro Court, Two Mile Hill, St Michael, on Monday, acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George said the authorities were keeping a close eye on areas such as Graeme Hall Swamp in Christ Church, a major mosquito breeding ground. “We have always looked at the swamp very, very carefully. We have two vectors in the swamp . . . and we continue to make sure that the southern part of Barbados is always fogged. Yes, we indicated in October the numbers [of those diagnosed with dengue fever] were a little higher than standard and we did meet the threshold for an outbreak but, fortunately, for November, those levels turned back to previous levels,” he said.
