00:00We asked for an update on the state of Dengue in Quezon City from Dr. Rolly Cruz of the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division.

00:08Good evening Dr. Rolly, this is Clayzel Parnilla of PTV.

00:12Good evening to you and to those who are listening to our program.

00:18Dr. Rolly, how is the state of Dengue cases in Quezon City? Has it increased or decreased following the declaration of the Dengue outbreak?

00:27We just had our declaration of the outbreak in Dengue.

00:31We were able to record from January 1st to February 14th, 1,769 cases of Dengue.

00:4210 of them died of Dengue.

00:50Dr. Rolly, what are we doing to stop the increase of Dengue cases?

00:57What is important now is to kill the adult mosquitoes.

01:03Our barangay, with the help of our sanidad,

01:10will have Dengue chemical spraying so we can kill the adult mosquitoes in the areas that have clusters of Dengue cases.

01:23That's the first thing we will do.

01:25Our health centers were open from earlier until tomorrow, not that day, we were open on the weekend

01:35for our people in Quezon City who are suffering from Dengue,

01:42to consult with our health centers and find out if this is Dengue or not.

01:51Dr. Rolly, for the sake of our countrymen,

01:55what are the symptoms of Dengue and how prepared are our hospitals in Quezon City?

02:02The first thing a patient will feel is that they will have a fever, especially children.

02:07Our parents need to know immediately not to ignore the fever of a child,

02:18especially those less than 10 years old.

02:21It starts with a fever, sometimes there is a headache, body aches,

02:29and sometimes abdominal pain.

02:35Those are the common warning signs of Dengue.

02:42That's why we urge parents, if your child is experiencing fever for one or two days,

02:49they should consult with our health center.

02:55Our health center has tests for Dengue.

03:00They just need to go there to see their child.

03:07This is free, there is no fee.

03:09Dr. Rolly, let me go back to how prepared our hospitals are

03:14and what are our steps in schools, especially there are many students there.

03:19Since yesterday, our hospitals have been talking.

03:26We have looked at the available resources.

03:30Our hospitals are ready to accept patients with fever.

03:35We have a fever express lane.

03:39We will prioritize cases with fever to see if it is Dengue.

03:48Our schools have issued a memo,

03:53our schools division's office,

03:56that there will be a regular Dengue activity in our schools.

04:04We also encourage children to wear long clothes

04:11to avoid the bite of mosquitoes.

04:15They will have clean-up drives in our schools.

04:24All right. Thank you very much, Dr. Rolly Cruz.
