Following the protocol of health monitoring implemented in the country, the hospital immediately send samples of execrable, for analysis. The results came back positive to the strain of cholera which prevails in Haiti. The patient is currently in stable condition, pending further analysis whose results are expected Wednesday to determine the type of antibiotic to be used in treatment. The man returned to the Dominican Republic on a bus that had sanitary facilities. The minister informed that the bus was quickly located and that the sanitary waste had been recovered and isolated. Recall that for several weeks, the Dominican government has implemented stringent controls to prevent the development of this highly contagious disease in its territory. The Dominican Republic has doubled its workforce including military on the border where a cordon is in vigor, limited the trade with Haiti, and the entry of Haitians in the Dominican Republic.
