"We also do a mass PSN (a campaign against dengue fever) to ensure the hot spots for dengue mosquitoes," he continued.
From the list owned by the Health Center, the current number of dengue cases on Tidung Island was eight.
"So, the fogging will be a routine agenda until the case of dengue fever is wiped out," she said.
