About 50 villages in six towns in Central Luzon have been considered dengue hot spots as cases there have increased by 1,000 percent in recent weeks, a DOH official said.

The hot spots, which are rare to happen in the region, are located in Dingalan in Aurora, Mariveles in Bataan, Subic in Zambales, Cabanatuan City and Gabaldon in Nueva Ecija and Paniqui in Tarlac, Dr. Jessie Fantone, chief of the regional epidemiology surveillance unit, said.“Central Luzon as a whole is not a dengue hot spot because dengue cases rose only by 10 percent.

The 197-percent rise—from 431 cases in the same period last year to 1,281—made Aurora the province in Central Luzon with the highest spike where it used to be low. Nueva Ecija and Zambales both recorded a 25-percent increase in cases from 2,833 to 3,538 and from 679 to 848, respectively. Dengue cases dropped in Pampanga , Tarlac , Bataan and Bulacan .ADVERTISEMENT
