Guantanamo.- The epidemiological situation in the Guant\u00e1namo Province is described as moderately complex, where viruses typical of the seasonal period circulate, causing diarrheal diseases and acute respiratory infections, in addition to dengue, an endemic pathology throughout the country.<\/p>\n
In statements to Venceremos, Dr. Aime Blanco Chivas, a specialist in Hygiene and Epidemiology and in charge of communicable diseases at the Provincial Center for Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology (CPHEM), assured that the Health System maintains the necessary surveillance on these conditions and has the resources to face them.<\/p>\n

The specialist warned that the presence of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito is high in the province, regardless of which there is control over dengue, but insisted on the conscious practice of family self-focus monitoring, the reorganization of the environment, the cleaning of yards and replacement of drains that require it.<\/p>\n
