Level of awareness on dengue
A literature review
Keywords:
Attitude, Community, Dengue, knowledge, language, practiceAbstract
We conclude our review that the spread of the dengue outbreak was facilitated by the community's ignorance and sloth, as well as government authorities. People, religious scholars, leaders, and government organisations, on the other hand, were not organised to participate in dengue prevention and eradication, which raised the risk of infection in the community. For the implementation of preventative policies, the report advises organising local communities and activating local leadership with the active engagement of government and non-government groups.
