Stay alert during rainy season-Davao Mayor

June 16, 2020 by NewsLine Philippines

DAVAO CITY — Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has advised Dabawenyos, especially those residing in danger-zones, to stay alert and vigilant against risks of disaster and diseases common during the wet season.

Duterte-Carpio warned that calamities such as flooding and landslides can happen as the country enters the rainy season from June to December.

She advised people to be vigilant and watchful during heavy downpour which can cause natural disasters such as landslide and flood, among others.

The mayor said it is also the season when diseases affect people such as leptospirosis, dengue, and tetanus.

“Usually dala aning ulan is ang mga sakit nga leptospirosis, mao na siya ang hugaw sa ilaga na naa sa floodwater. So dili ta basta-basta mulusong sa tubig baha because duna na siya’y dala na mga hugaw, mga kagaw. Dili lang ang leptospirosis, posible tang masamad and magkasakit ta og tetanus (Usually the rain brings diseases like leptospirosis which is a bacterial infection acquired from rats during a flood. We should avoid floodwater because of the bacteria and germs in it. Aside from that, we can get wounds and get tetanus),” Mayor Sara stressed.

She also reminded the people to be aware of their surroundings as dengue can be widespread influenced by rainfall. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection.

She said that increase in cases like these (dengue, leptospirosis, tetanus) will add to the problem in the hospitals not being able to serve so many patients.-Newsline with CIO report
