“Meron tayong mga kapuso na sabihin nating mabilis lang ‘yung daan sa baha, baka naman hindi kailangan ng gamot o kaya kahit napalusong pero isang araw lang, isang bigayan lang ‘yung gamot,” he explained.“‘Pag sinabing high risk at ‘yun ‘yung mga nakatira sa lugar na talagang hindi pa bumaba ‘yung baha, binibigyan sila ng gamot. Ang protocol ay once a week, so pinapabalik-balik sila,” he added.Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by animals such as rodents.
