19 Jul 1 Dead, 5 Infected Due to Leptospirosis in Cagayan de Oro City
Mga higala! Mayor Oscar Moreno wishes to alert every Kagay-anon in the dangers of Leptospirosis, especially now that flooding problems are rampant within the city.
With the help of our CHO or City Health Office, Moreno wants to remind everyone to avoid being soaked in “tubig-baha” since Leptospirosis bacteria can easily spread in it and infect anyone. Check out the infographic below:
