Cholera Cases Now Over 5000

 

The number of cholera cases continues increasing and has now reached 5045. At least 28 people have died from the disease after an outbreak in Harare. However, some cases have also been recorded in Bulawayo. Speaking to The Standard, Health and Child Care minister Obadiah Moyo said,

Cases have increased, but no death, we now have 5 045 cases. The situation is getting under control because of the intervention made. We have loads and loads of water from corporates supporting us and individuals.

The likes of Unicef have provided bowsers of water, which can supply 20 000 litres of water continuously. The [Harare] mayor [Herbert Gomba] was there with us today, council is working on the sewage system, waste management was also acting and boreholes were decommissioned because they were contaminated.
