00:52I was diagnosed with dengue and it was painful.

00:55I felt like I had a thorn in my skin.

00:58It's been a week already.

01:01Some of the early signs of dengue are

01:03that it can reach 40 degrees Celsius,

01:06rashes or nausea,

01:07and a headache, particularly in the back of the eyes.

01:14A patient in his school was diagnosed with dengue.

01:18There's a lot of grass and plants.

01:22There's also a lagoon nearby.

01:25We've been observing the consistent flooding.

01:29The breathing sites in our surroundings have increased.

01:35There are a lot of breathing sites, a lot of mosquitoes,

01:39and possibly dengue virus.

01:43The case fatality rate is less than 1%.

01:50As an early action by the city,

01:52barangays are doing fogging and spraying,

01:55particularly in barangays in QC where the highest cases of dengue have been reported,

01:59including the law that reported 133 dengue cases.

02:03It was followed by the May 100 cases

02:05and the May 92 cases of dengue in the Commonwealth.

02:09More than 60 health centers in Quezon City have been opened every day and every weekend.

02:13Dengue test kits are also free in health centers and hospitals.

02:17The Quezon City is also conducting an information campaign to avoid dengue tips,

02:22such as finding and cleaning the affected areas,

02:25wearing long sleeves,

02:26using mosquito repellent,

02:28and drinking water.

02:30In addition, the Department of Health's campaign against dengue,

02:34especially now that the weather is rainy in some parts of the country,

02:37Based on the latest report of the DOH from January 1 to February 1, 2025,

02:42the number of cases of dengue in the country is more than 28,000.

02:45It is more than 40% higher than last year at the same time.

02:50The DOH issued a reminder to avoid dengue.

02:53Search and destroy in places where mosquitoes can live

02:58and where dengue will be close to all the water around it.

03:03Not only the dirty areas, but also the clean areas.

03:05By the way, use self-protection,

03:07wear long sleeves, long pants,

03:10or use lotions or sprays for human skin that are insect repellent.
