Health officials called on residents Thursday to take the time to clean up any standing water in their area due to the recent increase in the city's mosquito density.

This year's mosquito density is up 37.8 percent from last year yeezy boost 350 dame , according to the Shanghai Municipal Health Promotion Committee.

"The warm weather and the rain have provided mosquitoes with favorable breeding conditions," said Zhou Yibin, an official with the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Health officials keep an eye on the insect's population because mosquitoes and other pests can spread certain diseases in the city.

Pest-borne diseases typically occur at a low rate. "There are no more than 10 cases of dengue fever each year," Zhou said at a press conference Thursday. "The majority of the cases involve travelers who contracted the disease while visiting Southeast Asia or Africa."

Japanese encephalitis is one of the most common pest-borne diseases. It primarily occurs in the city's migrant population, which does not have a systematic vaccination record, said Li Zhongyang yeezy boost 350 v2 norge , vice director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Promotion Committee.

Health authorities have undertaken new measures to track pest control equipment, such as rat traps and fly catchers, in residential compounds.

"We are starting to put up maps that show the exact locations of the equipment in neighborhoods," said Xu Yuan, vice director of the committee's general office. "It can help our volunteers maintain the equipment on a regular basis. There is also a safety concern for children and animals."

Xu suggested that residents use the maps to prevent young children and pets from going to where the equipment has been set up.

The committee is considering asking neighborhoods with a lot of expats to create English versions of the maps and warning signs for the pest-control equipment.

Authorities suggested that households with pest problems call the 12320 health hotline.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- A bread factory exploded late Thursday and then burst into big flames in Brasov adidas ultra boost herre hvit , central Romania, injuring at least five people, according to live coverage of a local television station.

The factory is located right by the city's Youth Stadium, where a football match was in progress. Thus, the powerful explosion, with images of flying bricks adidas ultra boost dame svart , broken glass, and other debris, was captured by cameras broadcasting the game.

The match continued despite the explosion.

Five wounded workers were taken to hospital, while several others were believed buried in the rubble, according to local DIGI 24 TV station.

Ciprian Sfreja from the local Inspectorate for Emergency Situations said one of the five wounded was in serious condition.

In turn, State Secretary of the Interior Ministry Raed Arafat said four of the injured had sustained burns to 10 percent adidas superstar hvit dame , and one to 40 percent.

The explosion occurred at the mill of Vel Pitar bread factory where employees were working the night shift.

""There were 10 persons, four exited on their own, five were transported to hospital and there is one person who is in the factory who will be extracted, taken out from the rubble in the warehouse,"" Brasov Mayor George Scripcaru said.

Regarding the causes of the explosion, the mayor said it could have been an accumulation of flour dust and improper ventilation.

The incident came at a highly sensitive moment adidas yeezy boost 350 norge , just six days after a fire tragedy in the capital city killed 32 people and injured more than 180 others, leading to the government's resignation.

BEIJING, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- China's non-financial outbound direct investment (ODI) dropped 41.8 percent year on year to 68.72 billion U.S. dollars in the first eight months, official data showed Thursday.

Chinese companies made the outbound investment in more than 4,789 overseas enterprises of 152 countries and regions from January to August, the Ministry of Commerce said on its website.

The plunge narrowed 2.5 percentage points from the January-July period adidas nmd human race norge , and the ODI structure continued to improve, according to ministry spokesman Gao Feng.

The investment mainly went to the leasing and commercial services, manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and information technology sectors.

Since late 2016, the ministry has cooperated with other departments to reinforce inspections into the authenticity and regulation compliance of outbound investment to optimize investment structure.

Outbound investment to countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative stood at 8.55 billion dollars, accounting for 12.4 percent of the total ODI, up 4.3 percentage points from the same period of 2016.
