Authorities cover up dengue deaths

HOLGUIN, Cuba, October 19 (Jesús Almaguer Pérez, Agencia de Prensa
Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org) - Municipal authorities in
Mayarí, Holguín province, have covered up the dengue-caused deaths of a
woman and her daughter, according to medical sources who refused to be
identified.

The sources said Marta Arias, a 50-year-old school teacher, and her
25-year-old daughter, an employee of a local clinical laboratory, died
within a week of each other.

According to the sources, townspeople remain fearful of the disease in
spite of the official silence.
