Manuel VALDEZ

potential breeding sites, and teaching the children to recognize the
symptoms. With the rainfall recorded in recent weeks there has been a
doubling of the number of dengue cases in neighboring municipality
Benito Juarez (Cancun), followed by the municipalities of Othon P White
and Bacalar.

Fishermen seek support during this crisis
Pescadores piden apoyo urgente
Sábado, 21 de Septiembre de 2013 20:25
Ante crítica situación
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 21 de septiembre.- Although sunny weather began on Friday, unlike tourism service providers, many fishermen wait three days for the seabed to clear. After about 15 days of being unable to work due to weather, many of the fishermen are getting by on loans. The municipality did not pay them two million pesos in support as it had intended during the closed season on lobster, and while they are not looking for 100 percent of that money, they could use some municipal support, says the head of Social Justicia fishing cooperative, Baltazar Gomez Catzin.

Some restaurants are closing for up to two weeks to take a vacation while it is low season, and to save money on expenses like utilities and payroll. They have placed signs noting they are on holiday or "Back on Oct. 2", so their customers know the closure is temporary. The closed establishments are mainly in areas such as Juarez avenue, where fewer tourists pass by than on Rueda Medina, the main street. After the national holidays conclude in September, this is one of the slowest times of the year.

Three cases of salmonellosis have been detected in children between the ages of 6 and 12 this past week. One was a six year old boy on Sunday, and it was attributed to poor food preparation, and the recent heat, which can encourage growth of the bacteria. The doctor on duty advised that food should not be of low quality, and vegetables and fruits should be disinfected, and warned that some drinks sold on the street may contain industrial ice cubes instead of pure water. He said symptoms can include high fever and abdominal pain.
