The DOH is expecting an increase with the start of the rainy and colder months, said Health Spokesperson Dr. Eric Tayag.
MANILA — The Department of Health on Friday urged the public to follow health protocols following an increase in influenza-like illnesses across the Philippines.
In an interview on Teleradyo Serbisyo, Tayag told the public to take the necessary precautions such as staying at home if experiencing symptoms, masking up and maintaining physical distance. “Sa mga bata, baka mauwi iyan sa bronchopneumonia... kaya iyong mga magulang pinapaalala namin, tingnan niyo ‘yung hingal niya, ‘yung bilis ng paghinga, ‘pag lumampas ng 40 per minute iyan, malamang sa hindi may bacterial pneumonia , kailangan ng antibiotic," he said. It is also important for those experiencing flu-like illnesses to have themselves tested. Some cases could be COVID-19, he said.
"'Yung akala mong trangkaso lang ay mamaya COVID pala. Kaya nga sa nagpapatingin, sana nagbibigay kayo ng sample para malaman po natin, kung ano talaga iyan, COVID o flu o kung ano pa para nang sa ganoon makapag-ingat tayo,” Tayag said.Watch more News on iWantTFC The DOH earlier this week said it reported an increase of influenza-like illness nationwide in October, compared to the same period last year.
