From Jan. 1 to Dec. 7, the province recorded 11,550 dengue cases, including the fatalities in 42 local government units.

The cases are higher than the 1,734 cases with two deaths recorded during the same period last year, although it is already on the decline.

The highest number of newly reported cases was during the Aug. 11-17 monitoring period, with 1,253, but the figure has steadily decreased, based on the IPHO report.

In a previous interview, Quiñon urged the public to remain vigilant against the possible transmission of dengue amid inclement weather conditions. She said the most important campaign is still the 4S, which stands for searching and destroying breeding places, self-protection measures by wearing clothes where the body is less exposed, seeking early treatment once signs and symptoms manifest, and saying yes to fogging if there is an outbreak. (PNA)
