Mayor’s Remarks:
1. In recent days, a cold front has moved southward, causing a gradual drop in temperatures and resulting in a spate of sudden deaths across the country. I urge the Public Health Bureau and Fire Department to collaborate in promoting healthy lifestyle habits to prevent incidents of myocardial infarction or similar symptoms.
2. Dengue fever prevention and control efforts are advancing to the next stage, with household prevention now exclusively utilizing spray cans. When using spray cans, there is no need for using tape to protect furniture, and it won't leave any sticky residue. I request the Civil Affairs Bureau to oversee district offices and health centers, ensuring clear explanations to the public concerning the benefits of using spray cans to prevent Dengue fever from spreading. Let's all work together to achieve our goal of zero cases as swiftly as possible and avoid causing confusion among the public.
3. With the arrival of winter, cases of influenza and COVID-19 are gradually increasing. I request the Public Health Bureau, Civil Affairs Bureau, Bureau of Social Affairs, and concerned departments to encourage citizens to get vaccinated, safeguarding their health and that of their families.
4. I ask all department to please enhance cross-departmental communication. For instance, when the Agriculture Bureau organizes marketing activities for agricultural products, consider combining them with shopping festivals to facilitate the municipal government's urban marketing efforts.
