The Ministry of Health says it has from January to date recorded fourteen cases of Cholera in the country.

Ministry of Health Spokesperson Kamoto Mbewe says the cases were recorded in Mpulungu district in Northern Province.

Dr. Mbewe says the last Cholera case was recorded on 24th February and that no other case has been recorded since then.

Dr Mbewe has since called for the need for people to ensure they observe high standards of hygiene to avoid communicable diseases.
