Bong Go warns vs dengue fever

SEN. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, on Thursday urged local government units, schools, and communities to be more vigilant against dengue fever, as a sharp rise in cases has been reported in several provinces across the Visayas and Mindanao.

"We should be prepared to avoid and control possible outbreaks of rainy-day diseases such as dengue fever while we are still dealing with the pandemic by maintaining good hygiene and cleanliness in our homes and surroundings," Go said.
