Ricardo Torres, director of the Metropolitan Health Region, indicated that there are 2,667 cases of dengue, more than 2,100 cases compared to last year, which is why a health alert has been declared. He indicated that there are 20 deaths in the country.
He indicated that they are carrying out interregional and intersectoral operations in Las Garzas, which is the area with the highest number of dengue cases, with 1,278 cases, an increase of 800 more cases than last year.
He said that the environmental sanitation personnel are in the communities and that the Environmental Sanitation Code establishes sanctions of 500 balboas for non-compliance, and if imposed by a regional director it can increase to 5000.
