DOH reports slight rise in dengue cases due to rains, urges '4Ts' campaign

The Department of Health (DOH) reported a slight increase in dengue cases in the Philippines for June.

From June 15 to 28, the DOH recorded 10,733 cases, up from 8,233 cases in the first two weeks of the month.

The health agency attributed the rise to continuous rains and flooding, which create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes.

In response, the DOH is urging the public to follow its '4Ts' campaign: Taob, Taktak, Tuyo, Takip, to prevent dengue mosquitos from thriving in homes.

The DOH also advised people to be vigilant after rain accumulates around containers where mosquitoes lay their eggs.
