00:00 After the Holy Week, the Department of Health continues to monitor the sick people who are in close contact with the hot weather

00:07 and the declaration of pertussis outbreak in some provinces.

00:11 Let's find out the latest on the news this afternoon.

00:14 I'm DOH Spokesperson, Euseb Erick Tayang. Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.

00:19 Good morning. Happy Easter to you both.

00:23 How are you, sir? How is the situation in hospitals during the past week of Easter?

00:30 What are the first cases or diseases that have been reported to be high in number?

00:35 We expect that in our declaration, from Palm Sunday until yesterday, Easter Sunday,

00:46 the doctors are on standby to assist our countrymen in their hospitalization.

00:54 We expect that the people who are usually hospitalized, including those who were injured in accidents,

01:10 will increase and be brought to the hospital.

01:16 This includes life-threatening emergencies such as drowning.

01:22 We hope that no one died and that they were brought to the hospital.

01:28 Third, there is a case among the people who are now in the hospital,

01:34 who are afraid or want to be safe, they go to the hospital to find out if they have cholesterol, COVID, or other diseases.

01:47 In the monitoring of PNP, there are 29 people who were hospitalized due to drowning.

01:54 What is the DOH's number? Is it the same?

01:58 First of all, we report the drowning and death from the Philippine Statistics Authority, which is our base.

02:09 We report it according to the PSA because we put it in the death certificate.

02:20 Although the police report is a big help, we use their data to remind our countrymen and the public

02:33 on how to avoid drowning, especially for children because this is one of the top-related cause of death for children.

02:43 We will also clarify if it is advisable to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for those who are drowning,

02:51 especially in the middle of the pandemic, there is still COVID and perthasis.

02:56 What is the DOH's advice?

02:59 It is important that we are not afraid of getting sick because we have protocols

03:12 to avoid it and to observe it.

03:16 In fact, our president signed a declaration on July 17,

03:27 which is the National Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation Day,

03:33 where the health authorities and other agencies will help to expand the awareness of CPR,

03:42 which is a big thing and can save lives, especially for those who are drowning.

03:49 In the aftermath of the weather, the forecast of the weather, it is possible to rise to 43 degrees Celsius,

03:57 but the forecast says it will be 42 to 45 degrees Celsius in 8 provinces including Metro Manila.

04:03 It will be the heat index.

04:05 How dangerous is it to say that our heat is at a dangerous level?

04:11 Okay. If the heat is that high, we can all agree, especially the elderly,

04:19 especially those who are exposed to the sun, even inside the house where there is no ventilation or insulation,

04:27 it can be dangerous.

04:29 That's why it is important to monitor our feelings,

04:34 especially when drinking water, we should wear shoes or add more because dehydration is our enemy.

04:43 You will also notice that you are always in danger because your skin is getting red,

04:50 you sweat less and you are dying from muscle cramps.

04:55 That is an emergency, a heat stroke, where the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius

05:04 and there is a combination of combustion, loss of consciousness, and that is an emergency.

05:11 The body temperature should be lowered and brought to the hospital immediately

05:16 because the heat stroke may die.

05:20 Let's go to the cases of pertussis.

05:23 What efforts are the DOH making to stop the spread of this?

05:27 Is it possible to add more places where there is an outbreak?

05:31 We are hoping that because we are already 2,000, we will be giving birth early,

05:39 including our secretary, Dr. Tender Bosa, on how to avoid that.

05:44 Aside from vaccination, if there is still a vaccine, the 5-in-1 pentavalent vaccine that we call,

05:51 for babies, starting from 6 weeks of age, 3 injections to complete that,

05:58 the observation of the symptoms of the babies, they do not get sick.

06:04 If they cough, have difficulty breathing, you should get a vaccine for that.

06:10 Do not get sick, even in the hospital, especially if the baby is not yet vaccinated.

06:16 And for us, there is medicine, antibiotics, especially if the baby's temperature is constant

06:24 and the baby is still there for more than 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months.

06:29 That is very unfortunate if you have a neighbor who has a Tosperina and the baby's plema,

06:36 his or her bladder, will be transferred to you if you have that person next to you.

06:41 We expect that the number will increase, but because of the reminders we gave,

06:50 we hope that the vaccine that we bought through UNICEF will help.

06:56 Because according to our data, 63% of babies under 6 months of age have Tosperina and will be reported to us.

07:06 Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

07:09 Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

07:12 Health Under Secretary Dr. Eric Tayag.
