Disease

Cholera Outbreak Kills 20 In Nigeria

The Director, Public Health and Disease Control, in the Ministry of Health, Ebonyi State, Dr Chris Achi, yesterday confirmed the death of 20 persons in seven Local Government Areas of the State following an outbreak of cholera in the state.

He encouraged residents of the State to desist from defecating indiscriminately around their environment and waterways. This leads to disease outbreak because the same flies that perch on the faeces also perch on food.
