2 Children die due to Dengue in Cebu City

Two boys---aged 3 and 10---are the latest fatalities due to dengue in the Philippines. There have been 372 deaths due to this year

Two young boys–aged 3 and 10–died on December 10, Saturday at Cebu City Medical Center due to dengue. CCMC administrator Kenneth Siasar told ABS-CBN news.

According to Siasar, the children’s parents may not have noticed dengue’s early symptoms so the boys were brought to the hospital too late. Both had suffered from fever for nearly six days.

The Department of Health told ABS-CBN that 214 people have died due to dengue in Region 7 (Bohol, Cebu, and Siquijor) since January 2016.
