Mayor Rocío Adame launched a large-scale fumigation campaign targeting all public schools in the city. The initiative, which aims to protect over 20,000 students from insect-borne illnesses, underscores the city’s commitment to creating safe educational environments.
The campaign kicked off this week as part of National Health Week efforts, coordinated with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration. Together with parents, teachers, and students, Mayor Adame launched the program, reaffirming her administration’s focus on prevention.
This effort will see 98 schools across the city fumigated to eliminate pests like fleas and ticks that can transmit diseases.
“Prevention is essential. No cases of rickettsia have been reported in our city, and we want to keep it that way. With these fumigations, we ensure that parents have peace of mind knowing their children are attending classes in safer spaces,” the mayor said.
The principal of an elementary school praised the local government for its focus on high-impact public health actions, noting the direct benefit to the well-being of children and staff.
Mayor Rocio Adame also called for a community-wide effort and urged residents to maintain clean yards, deworm their pets, and use the municipal health system’s free sterilization campaign, which offers 100 procedures per month.
