Malaria In the DR...
You recently published a story from your own sources that says the following:
"The outbreak coincides with Hurricane Jeanne's passage through the DR in September and an extraordinary boom in local construction as new hotels...(are built) resulting in an increase in imported labor from Haiti" --DR1 12/13/04.
At the same time you publish:
what is important is that any person developing a high fever upon returning from the Dominican Republic should visit their medical service, explain they were in an area where there have been malaria cases and get checked.
Are these the areas where Haitian people prosper?
If so, where are these areas?
Is this a Haitian issue....or is it a DR issue. Do Haitian construction workers cause a problem, or is it the place that they are compelled to toil?
Please advise.
