HAVANA, March 13 (Ana Rosa Veitía, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) -
The "Vita Nuova" restaurant, located in San José de las Lajas,
south of Havana, has been ordered closed for 90 days and its administrators
fired after its water tank was found to be a breeding ground for Aedes aegyptii
mosquitoes.
The restaurant is well-known among the locals for its pasta dishes.
The infestation was uncovered by a brigade organized January 14, consisting
of doctors, nurses, local officials and construction workers, and charged with
erradicating mosquito breeding grounds within four weeks.
Evidently, regular sanitation inspectors were lax in the performance of
their duties. A restaurant employee charged that inspectors regularly visited
the restaurant, but to eat and take food home. "They don't pay one cent for
what they eat and take. They are not concerned about people's health," he
said.
