Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, (NCDC), has reported that there have been one thousand five hundred and twenty-eight suspected cases of cholera since the outbreak began in Nigeria.

Additionally, fifty-three deaths have occurred across 31 states of the country. The NCDC made this announcement on its official Twitter platform, stating that due to the high risk of increased cholera transmission, they have activated the National Cholera Emergency Operations Centre (EOC).

The EOC will coordinate the national response, particularly in affected states, to halt disease transmission and minimize its impact, including addressing socioeconomic complications.
