An outbreak of cholera has been reported in the municipality of Tlaxcoapan in Hidalgo state. The health authorities confirmed three cholera cases in the municipality last week and a further two this week. The source of the outbreak has not been mentioned in this report.
Hidalgo state, located in east mexico is not one of the popular tourist destinations for UK travellers, therefore the cholera risk for most travellers is very low.
Travellers to outbreak areas who will be mixing closely with the local population and cannot ensure safe drinking water can be immunised against cholera. A high standard of food, water and personal hygiene should also be maintained.
