Government budgets for new mosquito plane
Government has earmarked $1.8 million for a new aircraft for the Mosquito Research and Control Unit, which monitors and controls the mosquito population in the Cayman Islands.
“As we all know, effective mosquito control is incredibly important to our quality of life,” Health Minister Katherine Ebanks-Wilks told Parliament’s Finance Committee.
“MRCU, like so many of our departments, has done an excellent job with the resources that they have. But if we want to keep our country free of epidemic levels of mosquito-borne viruses, then we must invest in a new aircraft.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
