The Department of Health (DOH) has warned the public on a possible increase in dengue cases.

"The DOH is closely monitoring the number of new dengue cases per week as the previous declining trend is starting to plateau," the department said in a statement.

"This could be the start of a rise in cases nationwide if we will not search and destroy mosquito water or stagnant water in any areas or containers that may breed dengue mosquitoes," it said.

Data as of June 1 showed that 5,368 dengue cases were recorded, almost the same number as those reported two weeks earlier.
