The alarm was again raised in the South-west region when Lagos State reported an outbreak with 60 hospital admissions and five deaths. “The surveillance team was also strengthened by the COPREP programme with community informants/ contact tracers trained and placed on stipends for eight months. They, however, would be deployed for active case search in preparation for the cholera outbreak,” he said.

Mr Ajaka promised that the government would play its part by sensitising and creating awareness in the mass media and also through community engagement. Symptoms of cholera include acute, painless, watery diarrhoea of sudden onset, with or without vomiting. It may be associated with nausea, profuse vomiting and fever.
