300 hospitalized with suspected cholera

 More than 300 people have been hospitalized in the Dominican Republic with suspected cholera symptoms over the past three days. 

The authorities have blamed this latest outbreak on the poor quality of drinking water.

The country had a cholera epidemic last year. Fortunately, it was quickly curbed thanks to timely precautions, but the disease spilled across the border into neighboring Haiti where it claimed 7,000 lives.
