此處已放蚊沙

此處 - this place, here

已 - already

放 - put out, installed

蚊沙 - mosquito net (I think that 沙 should be 紗).

 

 

Hong Kong has had a spike in dengue fever cases recently, so they are putting out a lot of protections against mosquitoes.

No, it actually is sand treated with mosquito control chemicals.

Of course Cheung Chau wrapped Christo-like in mosquito netting would be quite a sight.

You would run the risk of trapping as many mosquitoes under as you keep out, would look good though.

Cheung Chau is a hotspot for Dengue fever, so the netting would indeed be to trap mosquitoes on the island, to limit spread of the disease.
