HARARE, Dec. 4 — Zimbabwe’s capital Harare said Tuesday it is on high alert after a cholera outbreak has been reported in Mt Darwin, about 180 km northeast of Harare.
The outbreak that was reported last week has so far killed three people and infected 194 others.
The capital city has been hit by frequent cholera outbreaks due to poor sanitation and water, with the recent one which eventually spread to other parts of the country in September killing at least 50 people and infecting more than 10,000 others.
Harare City town clerk Hosiah Chisango was quoted by the Herald newspaper as saying that it had activated its health teams to deal with any possible cases since most people always travel to the capital.
“We continue to hear some cholera cases being reported across the country in places such as Mt Darwin, Chipinge and others. We are aware that most of the traffic ends up in Harare as the capital. As a city, our water, sanitation, and hygiene and health teams are always activated and on high alert so that we are able to respond to any cases,” Chisango said.
The cholera outbreak in Mt Darwin has been reported from an artisanal mining area in the town. – XINHUA
