谁那么缺德! 小罐暗藏公园树上滋生蚊虫!

谁那么缺德!后港单选区议员方荣发揭发,社区中公园的树上,竟暗藏空铁罐,积水滋生蚊虫! 方荣发是在今早(29日)在脸书发文,指出当前大家除了要齐心防范冠状病毒19,也不能忽视骨痛热症的威胁。环境局早前也警告,若疏于防范,今年的骨痛热症病例可能超越去年。 然而,在后港7道341座和351座组屋之间的公园小径,一些树上竟暗藏着数个小空罐,任由蚊虫滋生,令他看了感到痛心。 一些小罐藏得很隐秘,加大工作人员找到和清除掉这些罐子的难度。 “冠状病毒19疫情,已经让市镇会职员和清洁工友忙得不可开交。他们得以把后港单选区的蚊症病例控制在低水平。” 他呼吁两座组屋的居民,一同协助监督这个公园内的可疑活动,并通报市镇会。他强调要把肇事者绳之以法,因为这攸关居民的性命健康。 截至本月23日,本地累计骨痛热症病例已增至8千239例。
