Nanawagan si Quezon City Joy Belmonte sa publiko na magpasuri kung positibo sa COVID-19 o sakit na dengue.

Ginawa ni Belmonte ang pahayag sa gitna ng ulat na muling tumataas ang kaso ng COVID-19 at dengue sa bansa.

“We are seeing a rise in cases in our city, not just of COVID but also of dengue so we are encouraging our residents to get tested so they can seek consultation and start treatment early,” pahayag ni Belmonte.

Sinabi naman ni City Health Department Officer-in-Charge Dr. Esperanza Arias na kinakailangan nang magtungo sa pinakamalapit na health center kung nararanas ng lagnat ng dalawa hanggang limang araw.

Paliwanag ni Arias, magkapareho kasi ang sintomas ng dengue at COVID-19.

Ilan sa mga sintomas ng dengue ang lagnat, pananakit ng ulo, panghihina ng katawan, pananakit ng laman, mata at kassu-kasuan, pagsusuka, pagtatae, walang ganang kumain at skin rashes.

Base sa talaan ng City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit mula noong Enero hanggang Hulyo 28, nasa 1,280 ng kaso ng denge ang naitala sa lungsod. Mas mataas ito ng 129.80 porsyento sa parehong buwan noong nakaraang taon kung saan pito ang naiulat na nasawi.

“Prevention is better than cure. We cannot address this alone and we highly encourage our residents to take part in helping the community, in their own way, to prevent the rising cases of dengue. Let us help our community so you can also protect your own family,” pahayag ni Belmonte.
