#Cholera is a waterborne disease, with a higher risk of transmission when there is poor sanitation and disruption of clean water supply.

Practice and ensure the use of safe water in your homes and communities.

#TakeResponsibility

Increased cases of #cholera are recorded mostly during the rainy season.

To prevent the spread of cholera to you and your loved ones:

🚫Do not defaecate in open areas
✅Only drink water from safe sources
✅Dispose of refuse and water in waste disposal sites
✅Ensure proper clearing of sewage

A dirty environment aids the spread of infectious diseases.

Always maintain a clean environment in your homes and communities to prevent the spread of #cholera.
