The “4S” Kontra Dengue strategy entails steps such as searching for and destroying breeding places, particularly stagnant waters; seeking early consultation; utilizing self-protection such as bug repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants; and saying “yes” to fogging in high-case regions.

Dengue fever is a viral infection spread to people by infected mosquitoes known as Aedes aegypti, which bite between two hours after sunrise and two hours before dusk.

Fever, nausea, vomiting, rashes, aches and pains, such as eye pain or pain behind the eyes, muscle, joint, or bone pain are the most prevalent symptoms.
