Rat plague closes two USFs in Ílhavo

Two Family Health Units in Ílhavo were temporarily closed due to a rodent infestation detected by staff. The presence of droppings and urine led to immediate action, including notifying local authorities and initiating pest control measures. Specific capture devices were installed, and potential entry points were sealed. The closure will last until at least Friday, when a reassessment will occur. In the meantime, alternative care options have been arranged for patients, including directing them to nearby health centers and offering teleconsultations.
