Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for National Development whether the Ministry will consider subsidising the installation of mosquito screens for lower-income households as a form of protection against dengue and Zika.

Lawrence Wong

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) does not currently have plans to subsidise the installation of mosquito screens. Vector control remains the key strategy in reducing the spread of dengue and Zika. The National Environment Agency (NEA) and the People's Association (PA) also conduct outreach activities in dengue and Zika clusters to alert residents and advise them to take precautionary measures such as applying insect repellent and wearing long-sleeved clothing. Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and do their part to prevent mosquito breeding in their homes by following the five-step Mozzie Wipeout.
