NAGBIGAY nang babala ang Department of Health (DoH) sa publiko na mag-ingat at
pangalagaan ang kanilang kalusugan dahil dumarami na ang nagkaka-trangkaso o influenza-like
illness sa bansa.


Ayon kay Philippine College of Physicians President Rontgene Solante nitong Miyerkules,
tumaas daw ng 45 percent ang naitalang kaso ng influenza-like illness base sa kanilang
monitoring na isinagawa nitong Oktubre 13.


“Kung titingnan natin iyong trend last year comparing it this year, more or less, the same;
medyo may kaunting increase lang this year ‘no. Kaya nakikita natin most regions are
experiencing this, iyong tinatawag natin na influenza-like illness: ubo, sakit ng katawan, sore
throat, and some of them may have fever,” ayon kay Solante sa isang public briefing sa Maynila.
