 Colombia Declares National Emergency as Yellow Fever Outbreak Claims 34 Lives Colombia has declared a national health and economic emergency following a deadly yellow fever outbreak that has killed 34 people out of 74 confirmed cases since January. Health Minister Guillermo Jaramillo said the mosquito-borne virus, which carries a fatality rate of nearly 50%, has spread beyond traditional rural zones, now posing a wider threat. The hardest-hit area is Tolima, where cases jumped from four last September to 22 by mid-April. Authorities are urging mass vaccination and caution during Easter travel. Travelers in and out of the country may soon be required to present vaccination cards. President Gustavo Petro attributed the outbreakā€™s spread to climate change and warned unvaccinated citizens to avoid high-risk regions, especially the coffee belt. Meanwhile, the U.S. CDC has raised its yellow fever alert for parts of South America, including Colombia.
