BAJA CALIFORNIA.- The heat season began on March 19 and will end on October 7, according to the Ministry of Health, Guillermo Trejo Dozal, which has already created a campaign to prevent the negative health impacts.
In view of this, the Pool Monitoring program was launched for the search of free-living ameba, while the Directorate of Protection against Sanitary Risks makes sampling in public and private pools.
