DAVAO CITY – Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of Davao City has ordered an intensified campaign about the Ebola in an effort to educate the public about the deadly virus, state media said on Tuesday.
It said Duterte ordered the distribution of pamphlets to enable residents to take precaution and learn more about the virus that has killed thousands of people in Africa.
“It is important that the people must avoid getting in contact with individuals afflicted with the virus,” the Philippine Information Agency quoted Duterte as saying.
It said Duterte reminded citizens to always wash hands and to avoid rubbing their eyes, nose and mouth which are the entry points of the virus to the body. He also ordered the purchase of temperature scanners which will be installed in government hospitals here.
He said the local government has provided ambulance personnel with gear that includes an impervious gown, goggles, mask, head cover, gloves and booties to protect them from the Ebola virus. (Mindanao Examiner)
