PHILIPSBURG--The Health Ministry’s Collective Prevention Services (CPS) will carry out mosquito fogging on Monday, December 4, from 6.00am to 8.00am and again from 5.30pm to 8.00pm.

Residents living in the areas to be fogged on Monday are advised to leave all of their doors and windows open to allow the insecticide to enter their building or house; avoid pets from coming in contact with the insecticide; toys for children should be covered or stored away and food and drinks should be covered.
