Firecracker injuries reach 101, with 5 amputations
The Philippine Star
|December 28, 2024
Cases of firecracker-related injuries rose to 101 after 32 new cases were recorded nationwide, according to the Department of Health (DOH).
Five people have had their limbs amputated as of yesterday.
Most cases came from Metro Manila, followed by Central Luzon, Cagayan Valley, Western Visayas, Ilocos and Central Visayas.
"Eight of 10 firecracker-related injuries are due to illegal firecrackers such as boga, 5 star and piccolo. Even kwitis, though considered legal, is the fourth cause of firecracker-related injuries," Health Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo said yesterday.
People who sustain injuries are advised to tie a clean cloth over the wound, apply light pressure to prevent bleeding and go to the hospital to determine if they need tetanus shots.
