A conditional clearance to organize the DXpedition to Glorioso (http://glorieuses2005.free.fr/) has been given by the military HQ on Reunion. However, the current health situation in the area (neither [red][i][b] specific treatment nor vaccine are currently available for chikungunya)[/b][/i][/red] advises the organizers not to make the trip now,[blue][i][b] but to put off it until October or November.
