TANZA, Cavite - Recently Mayor Yuri Pacumio, Municipal Health Officer Dr. Ruth Punzalan, and other local officials distributed anti-dengue supplies, medicines, and face masks to students and teachers to prevent and eradicate dengue.

With the collaboration of the local government and the Department of Health (DOH) CALABARZON, the "Oplan katok, lamok tepok" led by DOH Calabarzon Regional Director Ariel I. Valencia campaign has been launched.



This campaign is part of the local government's 'Oplan Kator, Lamok Tepok,' which aims to combat the spread of the dengue virus, particularly in schools, and to protect students as face-to-face classes resume.

Mayor Pacumio encouraged tanzeños to cooperate in curbing the spread of dengue cases in the town.



"Kailangan ang aksyon ay manggaling sa lahat.' he says.

Besides the distribution of dengue supplies, there was also the installation of insecticide-treated screens.



MHO Dr. Punzalan also encourages municipal employees to join the local government's campaign against dengue.

Barangay officials, health workers, and nutritionists are constantly making rounds to conduct surveys and remind residents about how to rid the mosquito-infested area.

Keep the environment clean to avoid dengue, says the local government.
