Five cases of cholera and one causality from the same have been reported in Kuria East Sub County-Migori since the outbreak of the disease two days ago.
Speaking to the press, Migori County Executive Committee Member for Health Caleb Opondi said that the first case was reported at Sanguri Village in Kuria East Sub County.
Opondi however, affirmed that the health officials have already visited the area to ascertain the situation and are dealing with it. "We have visited the home of the person that died and established that the community was using water from a nearby stream without having it treated," said Opondi.
Opondo said that samples from the affected home have been taken for further analysis and already, water from the stream has started being treated to provide the residents with clean water.
