                    [Summary] => Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said yesterday that there have been no significant increase in the number of meningococcemia cases anywhere in the country despite the cold weather.


Duque noted there have been some "sporadic" cases, but these should not be a cause for alarm. "There is no concentration of meningo cases. We hope we can keep it that way."
