You\u2019ve been asking, and we heard you. So, is there anything about the dengue outbreak that WordCamp Iloilo attendees should be concerned about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well\u2026 if we\u2019re going to be blunt about it, NO<\/strong>. From what the government announcements say so far, the areas with the highest recorded dengue cases are in Pototan, Passi, and Calinog — towns that are way north of Iloilo City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the reason why a state of emergency was declared by the provincial government is to enable quicker \u201cemergency purchases of medicines, dengue kits and intravenous fluids<\/a>\u201d in case a real <\/em>outbreak would be happening for real. If that isn\u2019t enough, village leaders in both the cities and provincial towns have been conducting \u201canti-dengue drive\u201d cleanups every weekend to ensure that those little mosquito buggers won\u2019t have anywhere to breed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as our elders say: you never can tell when something bad is about to go down. So, here are some quick tips to keep in mind in case you don\u2019t want to get dengue\u2019d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Stagnant water is primo breeding ground of mosquitoes. So, if you happen to stay in a place where large pools of water have accumulated outdoors, ask the hotel management or the landowner to throw them out.<\/li>
  2. Mosquito repellent lotions are available in select groceries and pharmacies. Off!, in particular, is a brand that the locals themselves often use.<\/li>
  3. Close doors and windows (or just make sure that there are screens installed on them), particularly during dusk. This is the period of the day where mosquito activity is at its peak.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We hope these tips are enough to calm your mind prior to attending WordCamp Iloilo. See you this August! Tickets are selling like hotcakes so get yours now before it’s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
