HCECi ADMIN DECLARES EARLY DISMISSAL TODAY As expected, dengue hemorrhagic fever rises during the rainy season. This year, however, the incidence soared so high that the Department of Health sounded off the alarm. With this report from the government, and as a precautionary measure of the institution, health authorities advised community action to prevent dengue fever, especially in academic institutions.
The DOH led the whole country in a clean-up operation to eliminate all potential mosquito breeding places every 4:00 pm. In response to this call, Holy Child Educational Center, Inc. responded and had its FUMIGATION DRIVE today, hence classes are called off early so as not to let students and pupils inhale the fumes. The Aedes aegyoti mosquito, the
cause of dengue, breeds in clear, stagnant water accumulated in cans, old tires, flower vases, pots, pails and other containers. People were advised to eliminate these things in their homes, schools and offices. Only by cleaning up the environment and prompt medical attention can the vicious cycle of transmission be broken.
