The Ministry of Health and Wellness says inspections carried out at the old Silver Sands Hotel in Christ Church, have found no evidence of mosquito breeding in the pool located on the property.
Health officials however say they are aware of the disquiet it has caused among residents in the area, and are working with property owners to have the pool drained and maintained.
The Ministry also points out that it will continue to monitor the situation at the property.
It adds while there is still a dengue fever outbreak on the island, the number of suspected and confirmed cases continues to decline.
Health authorities are urging Barbadians to remain vigilant and take the necessary actions to prevent mosquito breeding on their properties.
The Ministry says it will continue its weekly fogging programme, with the aim of reducing the population of the adult aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits dengue.
