Chikungunya fight goes to Essequibo
A team headed by Dr. Reyaud Rahman, Director of the vector control services and the Global 
Fund Malaria Programme, has commenced the first set of training sessions in Region Two. These sessions are intended to address the Chikungunya disease that has taken Guyana by storm.
A target group from the environment agency, the Ministry of Health and members of the Region Two Administration launched the first set of training sessions, yesterday.
While cases of the Chikungunya disease have not surfaced in the Region, Dr. Rahman said that the persons would be trained to conduct the fogging exercise as well as educate persons how to better take care of their surroundings to avoid or minimize the spread of the disease.
To complement the training of persons within the Region, a fogging machine worth some $800,000 was donated to the Region. Fogging will commence soon in the Charity District.
The Region Two Administration will be seeking to acquire at least two more fogging machines to effectively cover the entire Region.
