Colombo (LNW): In preparation for the upcoming 2023 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination in January 2024, a dedicated dengue control programme has been launched, President of the Health Entomologists’ Association Nijith Sumanasena said.
This programme will be executed at all examination centres nationwide until December 31, he noted.
Scheduled to take place from January 04 to 31, the examination period coincides with the gradual alleviation of showery conditions, creating a favourable environment for the breeding of dengue mosquitoes.
Additionally, to curb the risk of dengue transmission, the conduct of tuition classes focused on the A/L Examination will be strictly prohibited from midnight on Friday (Dec. 29) until the conclusion of the exam.
This encompasses the suspension of tuition classes, seminars, workshops, and related activities specifically targeting the examination candidates.
