The Local Health Board convened today, June 6, 2025, to discuss initial plans, measures and actions the City of Ormoc shall undertake to prevent the entry and spread of MPOX.
During the meeting, the Body carried the motion for a recommendation to the City Mayor that a Technical Working Group focusing on the monitoring of MPOX be established. It was emphasized during the meeting the direction of prevention must be followed to facilitate preparation.
Finally, the Local Health Board is urging the public to prevent the spread of fake and unverified news to prevent panic and disorder and instead, source out information from the official social media pages of the Department of Health (DOH) and the City Health Department (CHD) and other legitimate and credible news sources.
