Kalinga dengue down 82 percent


By Larry T. Lopez

CITY OF TABUK, Kalinga – Dengue cases in the province dropped by 82.33 percent January to July this year compared to the same period last year.
Provincial Epidemiology Surveillance Unit coordinator Jose Pardito Jr reported there are 115 cases recorded now while 651 cases were reported for the period in 2019.
The province also registered  four  dengue deaths in the same period last year. 
Tabuk City which used to be a dengue hotspot with 417 cases in the first seven months last year has 78 cases now.  
Pardito attributed the remarkable drop in dengue cases to sustained multi-sector preventive efforts. 
Meanwhile, Pardito called on residents not to put down their tools against dengue while we expect more rains for the rest of the year. He reiterated  that continued elimination of mosquito breeding sites and cleaning of surroundings are most effective measures in dengue control and prevention. -- PIA Kalinga

  1. Papaya leaf juice acts as a stabilizer for Chinkungunya and dengue to increase platelet count. One teaspoon will be administered once in 6 (six) hours. Put two papaya leaves in a blender then extract juice.

    Use only from non-GMO papaya which has yellow fruit with seeds. Leaves from orange, seedless, GMO papaya is useless and must be eradicated.

    Please take time to read about Chinkungunya.
