The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says it has activated a national cholera multi-sectoral emergency operations centre (EOC).
NCDC director-general, Jide Idris disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said about 1,528 suspected cases and 53 deaths have been recorded across 31 states and 107 LGAs as of June 24.
“These fatalities are not just statistics but a significant loss of a loved family member, a spouse, a parent, and often a seasoned healthcare worker and team member.”
“This situation will be compounded as the rainy season intensifies,” he said.
