 The Cuban health ministry has reported an outbreak of cholera in Havana, with 51 confirmed cases. The disease is believed to have been caused by contaminated food from a vendor who did not follow proper sanitation procedures. Residents in some neighborhoods have been told to boil their water before drinking it and to take other precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. Authorities are working to contain the outbreak and ensure that those affected receive medical attention.
