The Quezon City Council has passed several resolutions in a bid to combat the spread of the dreaded dengue disease.

Authored by Councilor Peachy De Leon, City Resolution 7901-2019 urges the City Health Department to conduct a simultaneous clean-up drive and anti-dengue fumigation in five adjacent barangays on a quarterly basis.

Meanwhile, City Resolution 7903-2019, introduced by Councilors Eden Delilah Medina, Diorella Maria Sotto-Antonio and Irene Belmonte, requires schools to allow students to wear long sleeved shirts and jogging pants or long pants while attending school. City Health Officer Dra. Esperanza Arias said the move is necessary to monitor possible dengue and leptospirosis cases.

This is, however, a 62 percent drop from the 432 cases with 60 deaths recorded during the same period last year.
