On June 16 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued a warning to U.S. travelers to the Exumas, particularly Georgetown, concerning an outbreak of malaria. There have been 16 confirmed cases, mostly among local residents, some of whom may have traveled recently to Haiti. The government is recommending travelers take chloroquine prophylactically. The warning in its entirety can be found at www.cdc.gov/travel. Updated information can also be obtained from the State Dept. at 1-888-407-4747.
