The provincial government of Albay continues to implement the Department of Health’s campaign 4Ts (Taob, Taktak, Tuyo, at Takip) in communities to further curb the spread of the mosquito-borne disease.
Residents are also reminded to observe the 4S strategy, which stands for: “search and destroy” mosquito breeding places, self-protection, seek early consultation, and support fogging/spraying in hotspot areas.
