Cholera cases are actually decreasing. We used to have much more than 23 cases on a daily basis.
To contain the cholera outbreak, which has spread to several districts across the country, the Government imposed restrictions to stop the spread of the disease including the banning of food at funerals.
The Government also established cholera treatment camps in various areas and increased surveillance and active case finding working with local leadership and village health workers.
