US issues advisory for Cuba over cholera cases

The United States has issued an advisory for travelers to Cuba after several foreign visitors were sickened by cholera in recent weeks. "We urge you to follow public health recommendations and guidelines, such as safe food and water precautions and frequent hand washing to help prevent cholera infection," the diplomatic mission said in a statement published online. The embargo against Cuba bars most American tourism to the island, but hundreds of thousands of Cuban-Americans make legal family visits each year and increasing numbers of U.S. citizens are visiting through licensed cultural exchanges.
