A 20-year old Dominican has been diagnosed with cholera, the fourth confirmed case in the country, where protective measures against the disease are reaching epic proportions. In Haiti, the epidemic has taken more than 1,300 lives so far. Hoy newspaper reports that according to Public Health Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez, the young man, who lives in the province of Santo Domingo, was treated at a local hospital and is currently recovering at home and is out of danger. The first case involved a Haitian worker who picked up the disease during a visit to his country. Later, a 55-year old woman and her granddaughter, who had never been to Haiti but live near a polluted river were also diagnosed. For now, all those infected are out of danger. Yesterday, the Ministries of Public Health and Education began a national education program on the disease.
