Mozzy app
DO you know what types of mosquitoes there are on the Costa Blanca? What are the areas where there are most of them? At what time do they usually bite the most?
These are some of the questions that the Ministry of Health wants to answer, which is why the government has launched a mobile application that collects data on the contributions made by citizens in this study.
The Ministry of Health is asking people living on the Costa Blanca, as well as the rest of Spain, to interact and provide information on the place and time they have seen or been bitten by a mosquito and, if possible, they should provide a photograph of the specimen, which experts will analyse to identify the species.
Fernando Simon, Director of the Coordination Centre for Alerts and Health Emergencies, confirmed: “The world is changing fast; we cannot tackle problems without changing the way we deal with them. We need to innovate for efficient surveillance systems. Citizen science is key to what we are dealing with today.
“If you get bitten, report it!”
€11.5 million
THE Spanish government has confirmed the allocation of €11.5 million to the conservation of various roads in the province of Alicante. Throughout 2023, works are planned on the A7, the CV80 and the N340. These roads contain several of the points with the highest concentration of accidents in the province.
According to the latest reports from the DGT, some of the particularly conflictive sections for traffic are located on the A7 motorway at Maigmo, near Tibi, and the N340 from Crevillent to the border with Murcia.
