THE Cebu Provincial Health Office (PHO) reported a decline in dengue cases in a span of one month from October to November this year.

Records from the PHO showed that there were 785 dengue cases in November compared to 1,559 last October.

The PHO declared a dengue outbreak during the month of October due to the surge in dengue cases.

The declaration resulted to the implementation of anti-dengue programs and activities, such as fogging, information dissemination about dengue in the municipalities and cities within the Cebu province.

Dr. Niño Ismael Pastor, PHO chief on public health, said that even with the decrease in dengue cases last month, the year 2016 has the higher number of dengue cases with 8,218 from January to November compared to last year of the same period with 2,461 cases. /USJ-R Comm Interns Jheysel Ann Tangaro and Vanisa Soriano
