(CNN) — On paper, the American job market appears to be on relatively strong ground. Last month, employers hired 115,000 new workers, nearly double what economists forecast. And, at 4.3%, the unemployment rate is still at a historic low.

But surveys and other sources of labor market data indicate that Americans are struggling to find a job. For instance, the number of workers who are involuntarily working part-time jobs has been steadily rising while the rate at which employers are hiring new workers has been declining.

If you’re in the market for a new job and are experiencing difficulty getting hired, we’d like to hear from you for possible inclusion in an upcoming article.

El canciller de Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, advirtió que, con las acciones que está tomando contra su país, el Gobierno de Estados Unidos se encuentra en “un camino peligroso” que podría tener graves consecuencias para la isla, incluyendo “un baño de sangre”.

Rodríguez hizo estas declaraciones durante una entrevista con la cadena estadounidense ABC News transmitida el jueves. La conversación se realizó luego de que Estados Unidos decidiera sancionar al Grupo de Administración Empresarial (GAESA), un consorcio de mando militar que controla varias empresas en Cuba y que se convirtió en el más reciente blanco del Gobierno del presidente Donald Trump.

El canciller dijo que su país toma en serio las acciones de Estados Unidos, donde Trump en varias ocasiones ha dicho que podría buscar tomar el control de Cuba.

“Nosotros tomamos las amenazas de Estados Unidos muy seriamente. Indica que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos ha escogido un camino peligroso que podría llevar a consecuencias inimaginables, a una catástrofe humanitaria, a un genocidio, a la pérdida de vidas cubanas y de jóvenes estadounidenses. También podría llevar a un baño de sangre en Cuba”, señaló.

CNN contactó a la Cancillería de Cuba para pedir más información sobre las declaraciones de Rodríguez. También solicitó comentarios al Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos y está en espera de respuesta.

Previamente, a través del presidente Miguel Díaz-Canel o de otros altos funcionarios, el Gobierno de Cuba ha rechazado las declaraciones de Trump sobre una posible toma de control en el país y ha dicho que responderá si hay algún intento de agresión.

Cuba también rechaza el embargo económico que Estados Unidos mantiene contra la isla desde la década de 1960, así como las presiones y sanciones que Washington ha dado a conocer a lo largo de este año.

La semana pasada, Trump emitió un decreto para sancionar a personas e instancias de los sectores energético, minero, de seguridad y de defensa de Cuba, así como a quienes brinden apoyo material al Gobierno cubano. Las recientes sanciones anunciadas contra GAESA son una continuación de esta medida.

El jueves, la Cancillería de Cuba rechazó estas acciones. En un comunicado, dijo: “Se está ante un acto de agresión económica despiadada, que multiplica los efectos extraterritoriales del bloqueo, con la potencial aplicación de sanciones secundarias contra empresas, bancos y entidades extranjeras, incluso si sus negocios en los Estados Unidos no tienen relación con Cuba”.

Durante una rueda de prensa este viernes en una visita en Roma, el secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, defendió la decisión de su Gobierno.

“No son sanciones contra el pueblo cubano porque el pueblo cubano no se beneficia de GAESA. Es una acción contra esta compañía que está robando del pueblo cubano para beneficiar a unos cuantos”, dijo.

(CNN) — Health authorities across several countries are racing to trace and contain an outbreak of hantavirus after the World Health Organization said that five confirmed infections had been identified among people connected to the cruise ship MV Hondius.

The virus is typically associated with rodents, but it may have passed from human to human aboard the vessel, according to WHO. Since April 11, three people from the ship have died, while a handful of others are sick.

The outbreak was first reported to WHO on May 2 and remains a low risk to the general public, the organization says. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified its hantavirus response as level 3, the agency’s lowest level of emergency, according to a person involved in the situation.

Spanish authorities will conduct a full epidemiological investigation and disinfect the ship after it docks in Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where WHO believes the port has the right conditions for passengers to safely disembark.

Here are the details by the numbers so far.

How many people are potentially exposed?

• As of Friday there are 147 people – 87 passengers and 60 crew members – aboard the MV Hondius, according to Oceanwide Exploration.
• Those on board represent 24 nationalities, including 17 Americans.
• Authorities have said they’re completing additional contact tracing of 82 passengers and six crew members from an April 25 Airlink flight to Johannesburg from Saint Helena that a Dutch woman who had been on the ship took before she died.
• KLM said authorities in the Netherlands have also reached out to an undisclosed number of passengers on a second flight that the Dutch woman briefly boarded in Johannesburg. She left the 11:15 p.m. flight, KL592, before it took off because she was too sick to fly. A flight attendant who had experienced symptoms tested negative, WHO told CNN.
• British health authorities said on Friday that two UK nationals have confirmed hantavirus cases, and there is an additional suspected case of a British national who disembarked the ship on the island of Tristan da Cunha.
• Swiss authorities are carrying out additional contact tracing for people who came into contact with a passenger who left the MV Hondius in late April and is being treated at a Swiss hospital, according to Switzerland’s health ministry. The patient’s wife, who was also on the trip, has not reported symptoms and is isolating as a precaution, the Swiss health ministry said.
• In the United States, five states — Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas and Virginia — say they’re monitorin
