DALAW BARANGAY NI DUQUE KONTRA DENGUE

From: DOH WebPage

Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III strongly advises residents to get rid of used tires placed on their house roofs as these are perfect breeding grounds for dengue-carrying Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. Duque also visited a mother whose daughter died of dengue in Barangay Tandang Sora in Quezon City. Presently, clustering of cases was noted in Barangays Commonwealth and Tandang Sora, both in Quezon City. To prevent dengue, Duque urged residents to cover all water containers, replace waters in flower vases daily, regularly clean roof gutters, discard softdrink bottles, empty cans, and all receptacles which may serve as mosquito breeding sites as dengue is now an all-year occurrence due to climate change.
