Health Secretary Ted Herbosa on Monday said he will recommend to local chief executives to prohibit people, particularly children, from swimming through flood waters due to the risk of getting leptospirosis. Herbosa said this in light of the rising cases of leptospirosis weeks after the severe flooding in some areas due to the heavy rains brought by Typhoon Carina and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon.
The DOH has called on those who waded through floods amid the heavy rains to immediately consult with a healthcare professional regardless if they have symptoms or not.4 deadAccording to Herbosa, at least four people have reportedly died due to leptospirosis recently. “Mataas ang mortality ng lepto lalo na kung late na sila na-diagnose,” he explained. Herbosa did not say if the deaths happened after the onslaught of Carina.
