THE Department of the Interior and Local Government urged local government units on Thursday, August 4, 2022, to undertake proactive measures to help prevent the spread of monkeypox in their areas of jurisdictions.
“The adage prevention is better than cure still applies today. As the primary frontliners in your areas, it behooves upon our LGUs to initiate precautionary measures and spread awareness to your constituents about monkeypox and what they need to do about it,” he said. Abalos, in an advisory, enjoined provincial governors and city/municipal mayors to ensure the readiness of their respective local health offices, epidemiologic and surveillance units, and Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams to implement the DOH guidelines and protocols on the surveillance, screening, management, and infection control of monkeypox.
