About dengue fever command center established.
Taipei, Oct. 21 (CNA) A central epidemic command center was established Thursday in a bid to curb an outbreak of dengue fever in southern regions of Taiwan after more than 600 indigenous cases were reported since August, the Department of Health (DOH) said that day.
According to the two commanders-in-chief -- DOH Minister Yaung Chih-liang and Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) Minister Stephen Shu-hung Shen -- the preliminary goals of the center are to encourage the public to get rid of containers of standing water in which the dengue-carrying mosquitoes breed and to eradicate other possible breeding sites.
According to the number of households and residents in a community, an estimate of the number of containers in the community can be calculated, said Shih Wen-yi, deputy director-general of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Shih added that it is important to stop the spread of dengue fever before the seasonal drop in temperature, or else the disease will be more difficult to combat.
To enhance cooperation between the central and local governments, two southern command centers were set up simultaneously in Kaohsiung and Tainan in a ceremony attended by Shih and Lai Chien-jung, an official from the EPA's southern division.
