Dengue fever cases have increased by 49% in the Dinagat Islands.

BUTUAN CITY, PHILIPPINES – Since January of this year, at least 165 dengue cases have been documented in the province of Dinagat Islands, according to the provincial health office.

The Dinagat Provincial Health Office (PHO) said in a statement that the number is up 49 percent from the 81 cases reported during the same period previous year.

The majority of the infections have been reported in Tubajon, with 46 cases impacting seven villages, and San Jose, with 39 cases affecting 11 barangays.

Cagdianao, Basilisa, Libjo, and Dinagat all had a high number of dengue cases: 25 in Cagdianao, 21 in Basilisa, 16 in Libjo, and 12 in Dinagat.

Residents should not get complacent in the face of an increase in dengue cases in the province, according to PHO, and should always maintain their surroundings clean to avoid becoming breeding places for disease-carrying mosquitos.

“Dengue fever has spread throughout the province. “If you have a fever, go to the nearest health facility or hospital right away for a medical checkup,” the organization advised.

It further stated that all district hospitals in the province offer free testing, admission, and treatment to Dinagat citizens who test positive for dengue fever.
