Kabilang sa mga naapektuhan ang San Carlos, Urdaneta, Calasiao, Binmaley, Malasiqui, Bayambang, Umingan, Sta. Barbara, Manaoag at Bugallon.
“Most of the cases are in the five to nine years old age group. So, they could have acquired dengue either in their homes or in their schools where there are possible breeding grounds for mosquitoes,” aniya.
“We have been preparing since January this year. We conducted training by the Department of Health regional office for the rural health units in the province,” dagdag pa nito.
