Cuba Faces Chikungunya Epidemic, Fumigation Efforts Underway 

CUBA – Cuba is facing a major outbreak of dengue and chikun- gon- ya… with nearly one third of the population affected in recent weeks.

officials say the spread has intensified as the economic crisis limits fumigation, trash cleanup, and pipe repairs. 

Havana is among the worst hit… with teams fumigating crowded buildings.

residents warn garbage,  leaks,  and poor sanitation continue to drive infections.

Reuters reports many Cubans cannot afford repellent and face power outages… forcing windows open and making the mosquito-borne viruses even harder to control.
