00:00The Department of Health continues to monitor the cases of dengue cases that have increased in some regions.
00:06Katrina Son is on the scene.
00:12Now that it's raining, the care of Puringador is doubled so that the dengue does not spread again to her family.
00:20Of course, I'm afraid that many will die from dengue.
00:24Later, they will die, my God.
00:26And I'll just pray to the Lord.
00:30Bebyan Baranda also cleans every day, especially some of her neighbors who had dengue for a year.
00:37First of all, cleaning.
00:39Second, we need to remove the water-stained tires on the roof of the house or anywhere around us.
00:46And let's not get stuck in water that is contaminated.
00:49Dengue cases have increased in various regions, such as Western Visayas or Region 6.
00:55According to the Department of Health Region 6, there were 71 cases from May 26 to June 1.
01:01From January to May, more than 3,000 cases were reported.
01:06Dengue attack rates in Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, and Gimaras increased.
01:12While clustering of dengue cases in 23 barangays in the region was observed.
01:18Dengue cases also increased in Zamboanga Peninsula, according to DOH Region 9.
01:23In one statement, DOH said that they continue to monitor dengue cases in the country,
01:29especially since it started to plateau recently.
01:33They indicated an increase in dengue cases.
01:36According to DOH, the number of cases in the last three to four weeks was steady at more than 5,000.
01:45Dengue cases increased in the regions of Cordillera, Ilocos, Zamboanga Peninsula,
01:51Cagayan Valley, Caraga, Mimaropa, and Northern Mindanao.
01:55According to DOH, the increase in female Aedes aegypti has a major effect on the temperature.
02:01It is one of the species of insects that carry dengue.
02:04According to studies, dengue-carrying mosquitoes breed faster at a temperature of 26 to 35 degrees Celsius.
02:12That's why even in Europe, where a rise in temperature is expected,
02:16dengue cases also increased to 130 in 2023 compared to 71 cases in 2022,
02:24according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
