Minister of Public Health, Bautista Rojas Gomez said that the patients were neighbors of the Haitian girl who tested positive for cholera in the Doctor Arturo Grullon Children's Hospital in Santiago last Saturday. Diario Libre says that the victims live in the La Olla area, in the northwestern town of Navarrete, where about 80 Haitian families live in crowded conditions. The little girl was treated at the public hospital in Navarrete and the young man at the hospital in Esperanza. Both are said to be out of danger.
