CDC Travel Advisories

Cuba’s deputy health minister Carilda Peña said Monday that 33 people, including 21 children, have died from mosquito-borne chikungunya and dengue since July as outbreaks spread across all 15 provinces. Most deaths were attributed to chikungunya, with 12 from dengue, amid sanitation problems, garbage accumulation, and water storage during shortages; the CDC has issued travel notices for Americans to Cuba advising vaccination and mosquito precautions.
