Strengthen Anti-mosquito Measures to Prevent Chikungunya Fever
加強防蚊措施預防基孔肯雅熱
親愛的同事及同學們：
收到衛生局通知，橫琴地區出現一宗基孔肯雅熱個案。基孔肯雅熱是一種通過埃及伊蚊或白紋伊蚊傳播的傳染病。預防及控制方法等均與登革熱類似。潛伏期為 2 至 12 天，主要表現為發熱、嚴重關節痛、肌肉痛、頭痛、噁心、疲倦和皮疹等。
現呼籲大家加強防蚊措施，包括：
1) 清除工作地點和家居周圍環境的積水；
2) 使用紗窗、蚊帳或開冷氣等措施減少蚊子進入室內的機會；
3) 在戶外活動時穿著淺色長袖衫褲，並在皮膚暴露地方或衣服使用驅蚊劑；
4) 如有發熱、關節痛、皮疹等症狀應及時就醫，並告知醫生有關的居住地點或旅遊史。
視乎天氣情況，校園服務處將於本週安排全校滅蚊工作，共建健康及安全的校園。
最後，附上衛生局有關預防由蚊子傳播疾病(登革熱及基孔肯雅熱)的圖文包供大家參閱。

Dear colleagues and students,
As informed by Health Bureau, a case of Chikungunya fever was found in Hengqin area. Chikungunya fever is an infectious disease caused by Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Prevention and control measures are similar to those of Dengue fever. The incubation period ranges from 2 to 12 days, and is characterized by fever, serious joint pain, muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash, etc.
In view of this, please implement the following preventive measures:
1) remove stagnant water in working areas and living places;
2) use screens on windows, mosquito nets, or turn on air-conditioner to prevent mosquitoes from entering indoor areas;
3) wear long-sleeved clothes when staying in outdoor areas; apply mosquito repellent on exposed skin or clothing;
4) if symptoms like fever, join pain, rash, etc. are developed, seek medical assistance immediately. Tell the doctor about your living area and travel history.
Depending on the weather condition, CSS will arrange mosquito control work on campus this week. Let’t work for a healthy and safe campus together!
Lastly, please find the following infographics regarding mosquito-borne infectious diseases (Dengue fever and Chikungunya fever) issued by Health Bureau for your reference.
