    1. The company said there’s no HFMD outbreak at its property. “As a result of the recent cases reported of hand, foot and mouth disease in The Dominican Republic, the Head of General Medicine from Hospiten, an international private medical provider, concluded after thorough review of the resorts in the area… that there is no indication of an outbreak at our resort.” RELATED IMAGES view larger image One family says their daughter was misdiagnosed by staff at the hospital and the resort’s on-site, 24-hour medical station. var mobileArticleImage; jQuery(document).ready(function() { requiresDependency('https://static.ctvnews.ca/bellmedia/common/js/jquery.bxslider.min.js', function() { jQuery("ul#articleImage li").addClass("activeSlide"); $('#articleImage').css("visibility", "visible"); }); jQuery('a.galleryitem').lightBox(); jQuery('a.viewLargerIcon').click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); jQuery('.activeSlide a').click(); }); }); var cbAuthor = ''; var paragraphs = jQuery(".articleBody").children("p").length; var sideItems = jQuery(".sideItems"); if(paragraphs > 3) { sideItems.fadeOut("fast", function() { var thirdItem = jQuery(".articleBody").children().eq(2); jQuery(".sideItems").insertAfter(thirdItem); sideItems.fadeIn("fast"); }); } else { sideItems.fadeOut("fast", function() { var lastItem = jQuery(".articleBody").children().last(); jQuery(".sideItems").insertAfter(lastItem); sideItems.fadeIn("fast"); }); }

      I wonder how many people who travel contract Hep C, the flu, diarrhea ect. Its risky everywhere you go, especially with kids. If there child was here at home an contracted HFMD and had the same reaction would we hear about; od do we hear about it because it cost them so much extra money?

    2. Three days into their stay, Sarah Rundsztuk’s toddler began vomiting and convulsing. After seeking medical attention, she said the family was bounced between the resort’s 24-hour medical station and a local hospital, where Rundsztuk said her daughter was misdiagnosed twice.

    3. Families are demanding more transparency from Sunwing Travel Group and urging the company to tell would-be customers if there are any potential health risks linked to the resorts.

      This statement from travelers its a bit bother some to me. Resorts are not going to release statements that tell you if your going to get sick at their resorts. They don't advertise these thing that's bad for business. People know you travel you take precautions. If I was to travel with kids to a resort full of kids I would assume we run a risk of coming across contagious viruses.
