The NCDC is aware of an unknown illness reported among secondary school children in Delta State.

We are in touch with the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria, Federal Ministry of Health Nigeria and Delta State Ministry of Health to investigate and respond accordingly.

We will communicate with Nigerians as the situation evolves.
#TakeResponsibility, get vaccinated and adhere to all non-pharmaceutical preventive measures to help curb the spread of #COVID19Nigeria.

#WashYourHands with soap under running water
Wear your face mask properly
Avoid crowded places
Visit a health care centre when sick
Given the consistent increase in #COVID19 cases, Nigerians are advised AGAIN to;

Avoid large gatherings
Avoid non-essential domestic & international travel
Wear a face mask in crowded places
Wash hands regularly with soap under running water
Get vaccinated

#TakeResponsibility
Prepare your foods properly to prevent the spread of #cholera.

Wash fruits and vegetables with clean running water
Peel fruits before consumption
Keep foods in properly covered containers
Eat properly cooked foods
With an incubation period of at least two hours, #cholera can kill within hours if untreated.

It is easily transmitted in areas with poor sanitation hygiene practices and lack of clean water.

Reporting suspected cases early increases chances of survival
