The Department of Health (DOH) in Central Visayas has urged the public to prioritize post-festival health following the Sinulog celebration, which concluded without major medical incidents.

Dr. Jaime Bernadas, DOH-7 regional director, advised the public to rest, stay hydrated, and watch for symptoms such as fever, cough, or fatigue. Those feeling unwell should seek medical attention promptly.

Bernadas credited the successful health and safety measures to the coordinated efforts of local government units (LGUs), hospitals, and volunteers in Metro Cebu.

He highlighted DOH-7’s collaboration with LGUs and emergency response teams, which deployed medical stations and quick-response units across the city to provide immediate assistance.

“The success of Sinulog showcases the strong partnership between government, healthcare providers, and the community. We remain committed to safeguarding public health,” Bernadas said.

As of Jan. 20, a total of 784 medical consultations were recorded, including minor injuries, dehydration, high blood pressure, and respiratory concerns. Thirty individuals were referred to hospitals for further treatment.

The DOH-7 lifted the Code White Alert, which was in place to ensure adequate medical resources during the festival, on Monday. (PNA)
