The response, detailed on 26 October, follows a governorate communiqué dated 22 October. Governor Mariama Konaté Gnanou described insecticide spraying inside patients’ compounds and nearby homes, alongside wider spraying in public places and community awareness work.
Residents with fever or other suggestive symptoms were urged to attend the nearest health centre and avoid self-medication that could delay care. The increase concerns dengue cases, not merely preparedness for a possible outbreak; its magnitude remains unclear because the announcement supplied no numerical breakdown.
