HOLGUIN, Cuba, October 19 (Jesús Almaguer Pérez, Agencia de Prensa Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org) - Municipal authorities in Mayarí, Holguín province, have covered up the dengue-caused deaths of a woman and her daughter, according to medical sources who refused to be identified.

The sources said Marta Arias, a 50-year-old school teacher, and her 25-year-old daughter, an employee of a local clinical laboratory, died within a week of each other.

According to the sources, townspeople remain fearful of the disease in spite of the official silence.
