2,634 dengue cases recorded from January to July in Pangasinan

It is a crazy world that we are in now. If it is not Covid-19, it is other forms of diseases like dengue. I just saw this article just now:

DAGUPAN CITY – The Pangasinan Provincial Health Office (PHO) has reminded Pangasinenses anew to be vigilant against dengue as cases in the province almost doubled from January to July 26 this year.

The latest data provided by the PHO Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit on Saturday showed 2,634 dengue cases were recorded during this period, a 97-percent increase from 1,334 cases recorded in the same period last year.

However, the mortality rate is lower this year with two, as compared to last year’s 11.

I do not know how they are going to deal with this because Philippines is a big country and the mindset of the people need to be changed. Dengue is fatal. I hope they get this settled.
