According to what we found out, most of the consultations in the health sector clinics and with private doctors are for dengue, some people get severe dengue, hemorrhagic dengue, their platelets are low, so doctors send them to the hospitals because it can be fatal.
There have been cases of people, according to medical reports, who have ended up hospitalized because they did not pay attention to the recommendations of absolute rest and continued with their occupations, and some have even suffered heart attacks because they did not remain at home resting as indicated by the doctors.
