If there are symptoms such as high fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, after fever with measles, body aches and sweating, then blood test should be done immediately.
 If malaria is not treated at the right time or completely, it can sometimes become a cause of danger. These mosquitoes breed in stagnant clean water. These mosquitoes bite at night and in the morning. We should teach water in small tanks around our homes, tires, pots and back trays of refrigerators, etc., by observing one day a week, Friday, as a dry day. Mosquito net, mosquito repellent cream, and oil etc. should be used while sleeping at night. Malaria testing and treatment is done absolutely free in government health institutions.
