Plague Outbreak in Peru

Dear Volunteers,

We have received notice from one of our volunteers that there is a plague outbreak in Peru.  More information regarding the outbreak can be found here.  We've contacted Awaiting Angels to learn more about what sort of precautions need to be taken.  Here is what Awaiting Angels says:

The region where the plague outbreak has appeared is located far in the northern coast of Peru. It's an industrial city crowded of fish-meal factories. The local authorities have stated that the plague is under control and does not represent a risk for public health in the near future. Lima and Cuzco both cities are located far away from that northern region where sanitation and the environment are totally different. Please tell the group that they will be safe in regards of this plague outbreak.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact any of the outreach trip directors by e-mail.

Thank you
