The Department of Health (DOH) reported a slight increase in dengue cases, with numbers rising from 8,233 between June 1 to 14 to 10,733 from June 15 to 28.
This increase is attributed by the DOH to ongoing heavy rains and flooding.
The DOH is urging the public to remove possible mosquito breeding sites as a preventive measure against dengue.
However, the agency advises the public to wait for flooding and heavy rains to subside before starting cleanup activities.
The DOH also recommends wearing protective gear such as boots, gloves, goggles, and a mask during cleanup, and to ask for help when carrying heavy items or using chemicals.
