00:00 There is an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis in Baguio City.

00:04 This is the first news of Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV, One North Central Luzon.

00:09 I would like to officially declare that we have an outbreak of gastroenteritis.

00:18 That declaration was made by the Mayor of Baguio City,

00:21 just after the unusual diarrhea cases in the city, according to their health service office.

00:27 To date, 1,602 cases of food and waterborne diseases have been reported in the city of Pines.

00:34 More than 200 establishments and 80 houses are affected.

00:38 14 members of the Kirubin family were infected from Rizal and visited Baguio last holiday season.

00:46 They were brought to the hospital after experiencing nausea, stomach pain and vomiting.

00:51 According to Mary Grace, they climbed to Baguio on January 5 and ate in a food establishment.

00:57 They were given service water.

01:00 They were still required to go to the hospital but they were able to go home.

01:03 However, the pain of some of them did not end there.

01:06 It's hard to go home.

01:07 Our trip was long, almost four hours.

01:11 We reached home in five hours because all of the staff members were over there.

01:14 We stopped.

01:15 Some of the patients were from Itogon, Tuba and Latinidad,

01:20 who ate in another food establishment in Baguio City.

01:23 According to Mayor Magalong, he and some of his relatives and friends were also infected by diarrhea.

01:29 The local government held an emergency meeting due to the continued increase in the number of cases of diarrhea.

01:35 The investigation of the City Health Services Office is extensive and in-depth.

01:39 The first thing that is being looked at is the possible contamination of water.

01:42 More than three establishments and houses will get water samples for water testing.

01:48 We will be up on our toes and doing a lot of water testing.

01:53 Actually, we are now, from the meeting with the mayor this morning,

02:00 we are now partnering with the BCPO to help us also do the water testing as fast as we can

02:06 so that we can screen the water and if it's positive, then we will now subject it to bacteriological examination.

02:14 The medical facilities in the city are ready in case the number of cases of diarrhea increases.

02:19 I think the hospitals can accommodate it since they don't usually stay in hospitals.

02:25 So you are just an OPD?

02:26 Yes, we are just an OPD.

02:28 Until Friday, the results of the water tests are expected to be released.

02:32 But while the results are not yet released, drinking water from the tap is temporarily prohibited.

02:39 This is the first news. Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of One North Central Luzon for GMA Integrated News.
