On July 24th， according to media reports， recent hot weather coupled with frequent rainfall has led to imported cases of Chikungunya fever in some areas. This has prompted questions from netizens regarding effective prevention methods.
Relevant experts highlight that one of the most effective ways to prevent Chikungunya fever is through environmental sanitation. This involves regularly clearing standing water from containers around homes， such as plant saucers， discarded tires， and buckets， to eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Additionally， when outdoors， applying approved insect repellent to exposed skin can provide personal protection. In areas with a high density of mosquitoes， supplementary measures like using mosquito coils or electric mosquito swatters can assist in mosquito control.
It is important to note that Chikungunya fever is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus). While airborne transmission is possible in laboratory settings， there is currently no evidence of direct person-to-person transmission.
