Dahil sa maulang panahon, huwag kalimutang magdala ng payong, kapote, o anumang panangga sa ulan kapag bibisita ngayon sa sementeryo. Magbaon rin ng insect repellant upang makaiwas sa kagat ng lamok.

‼️ DOH CODE WHITE ALERT, NAKATAAS HANGGANG NOVEMBER 2; DOH HOSPITALS AT HEALTH EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS, ΝΑΚΑΑΝΤΑΒΑΥ ‼️

Hanggang November 2 nakaataas ang Code White Alert sa lahat ng mga DOH hospitals, central at regional offices sa buong bansa. Matatandaang inactivate ito bago pa mag-Undas, October 31.

Ang Code White Alert ay hudyat ng kahandaan ng mga ospital at healthcare workers nito kaugnay ng isang malawakang aktibidad tulad ng Undas. Kasamang naka-alerto ang operations center ng mga ospital para makipag-ugnayan at mag-ulat sa mga regional at central office ng DOH.

Dalawang fully-equipped emergency ambulances o level 3 ambulances din ang naka-standby sa Manila North at Manila South Cemetery sakaling may mga pasyente sa sementeryo na kailangan itakbo sa ER.

Patuloy na paalala ni Sec. Ted Herbosa na ugaliin ang cough etiquette, paghuhugas ng kamay o paggamit ng alcohol, lalo na’t flu season pa rin.

Magbaon din ng inuming tubig at dalhin ang maintenance na gamot, lalo na kung magtatagal sa sementeryo.

Every 40 seconds, someone dies by su***de, but every conversation can be a chance to save a life. 💬

Pay attention to sudden changes in mood, behavior, or sleep. Notice when someone starts withdrawing or using substances more often. These may be signs that they are struggling silently.

Check in. Ask how they are doing. Listen without judgment. Your concern could be the lifeline they need.

Wellness Break Reminder! ✨

Panahon na para magpahinga, huminga, at alagaan ang sarili.

Flu season is here.

Around 75,000 cases of Influenza-like Illnesses (ILI) have been reported in the Philippines so far this year — slightly fewer than last year and still within the usual flu trend.

Most cases are mild and go away with rest and care, but flu can be more serious for young children, older people, and those with chronic conditions or weak immunity.

Simple preventive habits help reduce the spread of illness:

✅Get the flu shot
✅Cover coughs & sneezes with a bent elbow or a tissue; dispose of used tissue in a closed bin
✅Wash hands regularly
✅Stay home if you feel sick
✅Open windows when possible, to encourage airflow
✅Avoid touching eyes, nose & mouth
✅Avoid close contact with a sick person
✅If you’re experiencing mild flu symptoms & need to leave home, wear a mask

Help protect yourself & loved ones. and

Maghugas ng Kamay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!
Magpahinga sa Bahay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!
Kumain ng Prutas at Gulay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!—ito ang mensahe ng DOH sa kampanya nitong “Trangkaso Bye-Bye” na inilunsad bilang bahagi ng tamang edukasyon sa pag-iwas sa trangkaso o flu.

Nauna nang inihayag ng DOH na bagamat walang outbreak, nasa flu-season pa rin ang bansa mula sa panahon ng tag-ulan nitong Hunyo hanggang sa kasalukuyang pagpapalit ng monsoon season papuntang Amihan.

Batay sa latest surveillance ng DOH, nakapagtala ng 6,457 kaso ng Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) mula Setyembre 28 hanggang Oktubre 11, 2025, na 25% mas mababa kumpara sa 8,628 kaso sa kaparehong panahon noong 2024.

Ang ILI ay isang matinding impeksyon sa paghinga na dulot ng mga virus tulad ng Influenza A at B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), at Rhinovirus.

Sentro sa kampanyang Trankaso Bye-Bye! ang mga simpleng gawain para makaiwas sa pagkakasakit.
