A month ago, 7News told you about the regional outbreak of Dengue in Central America, which spared Belize.
Well today, the Ministry of Health reports that in order to make sure there is not an outbreak in Belize, they are introducing an operation in San Pedro Town. 
It includes a ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying, thermal spraying of houses, premises inspections, spraying of drains and the issuing of bed nets to homes in high-risk areas.
And the reason they're doing this is because they've received reports of cases which they suspect of being Dengue infections. As a result, a team from the Vector Control Unit was dispatched to San Pedro on Tuesday to investigate in areas of DFC, Boca Del Rio and San Pablo..
The effort is free of costs for the San Pedro residents, and it comes as a joint effort between the Ministry of Health and the Island's Town Council.
The Ministry of Health is urging the public to take as many precautions as possible to avoid having an outbreak.
