Seattle; a sweet reprieve from the heat in Playa del Carmen. Web Guy and I decided to take a bit of a break and head to the United State, Seattle in particular, to get a break from the heat in Playa del Carmen and visit family and friends. As our trips always go we ended up extending it by a week. We will be returning to Playa del Carmen next Monday, October 8th. So, we thought we would let everyone know why there hasn’t been much activity on Playa Maya News! We will be back in our office first thing on the morning of the 9th and it will be business as usual. In the mean time I have received an update from the Consular’s Office in Cozumel so I have included the information below…..
News and Updates from the US Consular's Office in Cozumel Cozumel has had 62 reported cases of dengue fever this year. Of those, 17 have been of the hemmoragic variety. Dengue is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito, so the city is asking for everyone to clean up any areas of standing water where mosquitos can breed. In additon wear repellent if you are are going to be exposed to mosquitos. For more information on dengue visit the following websites: www.cdc.gov/NCIDOD/DVBID/DENGUE/ www3.niaid.nih.gov/healthscience/healthtopics/dengue/default.
