Khumbula, ukuba sonke sigcina amakhaya ethu kunye neegadi zethu zicocekile, sinokuzikhusela kwi-dengue kunye ne-chikungunya ngokulawula ukuzala kweengcongconi.
Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya
I-Chikungunya sisifo esidluliselwa ziingcongconi esibangela iintlungu eziqatha zamalungu kunye nomkhuhlane.
Ekubeni iimpawu zifana neze-dengue, qiniseka ukuba ubona ugqirha uze ufumane isigulo.
De kuqinisekiswe ukuba ayisiyo idengue, kuphephe ukuthatha iintlungu ngaphandle kweparacetamol (i-Aspirin, i-Ibuprofen).
Ukuphumla ngokwaneleyo nokusela amanzi amaninzi kubalulekile ukuze uphile ngokukhawuleza.
