San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said Tuesday he will be introducing to the Metro Manila Council a resolution urging local government units to ban residents from swimming in flood waters and impose sanctions on violators.This move is to help mitigate the rising leptospirosis cases in Metro Manila, which occurred after the onslaught of Typhoon Carina and Southwest Monsoon.
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by animals such as rodents. Urine from infected rats could mix with floodwater during heavy rains, and could therefore enter the body of people wading through floods.In its latest data, the DOH logged 255 new leptospirosis cases from July 21 to August 3. The latest record is 17% higher than the 217 cases recorded from July 7-20, DOH said.
