The advisory comes as health officials report deaths linked to the outbreak, with at least four fatalities mentioned across reports. Global News also says the outbreak has led to 165 hospitalizations since it began, including eight intensive care unit admissions. Both outlets characterize the situation as an ongoing public health event prompting guidance for travellers to the affected area. The reports note that the CDC’s warning is aimed at helping people make informed decisions while the outbreak continues, though specific recommendations are not detailed in the provided excerpts. The number of reported hospitalizations and critical care admissions indicates the outbreak is causing significant illness, not only isolated cases.
