A trichinellosis outbreak in San Juan has affected 34 people, according to a report by the Global Risk Atlas. Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease typically contracted by eating undercooked meat, especially pork. Health authorities are expected to investigate the source as cases continue to draw attention locally and internationally.

Costa Rica's Juan Santamaría Airport, which serves San José, is set to build an eight-level parking garage costing $14.9 million and offering 600 spaces, scheduled to open in April 2027.

Registration is now open for the 'Sea Change Summit', according to an announcement from the San Juan Islands. The event, flagged under climate coverage, invites participants to sign up in advance. Details on the summit's speakers, agenda, and dates have not been widely circulated, and it is not yet clear what specific outcomes organisers are aiming for. Local interest in climate-related gatherings in the Pacific Northwest remains high.
