In addition, the resort also fogged the islands with mosquito-killing insecticide.

This treatment was carried out to further prevent a dengue outbreak, which has been threatening the local islands.

A group of volunteer team members led by Satish Cavin, Hygiene Manager from Conrad Maldives Rangali Island collaborated with both Fenfushi and Dhigurah island councils to provide treatment in potential dengue risk areas. Fogging was carried out on both islands and awareness sessions were held for local communities where information was delivered about precautions to be taken to avoid dengue outbreak.
