By: Carla Torres Solorzano

Recent rains increased the mosquito population and the transmission of Chikungunya virus in Nicaragua. Health authorities reported 21 new cases of the virus, totaling 1,021 confirmed nationally, according to Rosario Murillo, coordinator of the Communication and Citizenship Council.

"Yesterday (Monday) we had 1,000 cases and today (Tuesday) took 1,021, with those reported as positive today," Murillo said.

However, Murillo ensures that cases are declining because fewer new cases Tuesday that were reported yesterday...
