After the death of five children, the Ministry of Health implemented a community health fence Emiliano Zapata, which remain so far to control probable cases of pertussis or whooping cough in infants in the region, which also 41 children were reported sick under these symptoms.

Also, tours are conducted from house to house in search of cases with these features to prompt treatment and prevent the disease from spreading.

It is presumed that this disease is caused by weather conditions in the area, and that respiratory infections are typical of the season, which comes with the bacteria that causes it.

In a statement, the agency explained how this disease has spread:

"manifests with cough and high fever, is spread easily in the airways, in the winter, in areas of high deprivation in the presence of rain and cold weather."

Notably Carlos Eugenio Ruiz Hern?ndez, Secretary of Health, is who is on site emergency response personally at the Governor.
