No confirmed cases of cholera in Osun

This was disclosed by the Director of Public Health in the state Ministry of Health, Dr Akeem Bello, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Osogbo, the state capital.

Bello also said that an Emergency Operation Centre on cholera would be activated to prevent the spread of the disease in schools in case of any outbreak. NAN reports that cholera is a highly-infectious disease caused by vibrio cholera, characterised by diarrhoea, vomiting, dehydration, abdominal cramps and fever.

Cholera is typically spread through contaminated food, water, poor sanitation and hygiene as well as close contact with infected individuals.
