SINGAPORE: A project to combat dengue in Singapore by releasing specially bred mosquitoes will be expanded to construction sites and the landed estate area in Marine Parade.
This is the first time such locations are being covered.
More HDB blocks in existing study sites such as Tampines and Yishun will also be included in the project, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) NEA on Monday (Jul 5).
The agency said it had been engaging residents at the Marine Parade landed estate area and recruited volunteers to host different mosquito traps in their homes for mosquito surveillance.
From the fourth quarter of 2021, vans equipped with release automation technology will be deployed to conduct targeted small-scale releases of the male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes at the area in Marine Parade.
