As Kenya witnesses a resurgence of cholera in various areas, health officials in Elgeyo Marakwet County are urging residents to remain vigilant, despite no reported cases in the region so far.
Speaking in Iten, Caroline Magut, the county Chief Officer for Preventive and Promotive Health Services, confirmed that Elgeyo Marakwet remains cholera-free, but not risk-free. "As of now, Elgeyo Marakwet has not reported any case of cholera," said Magut. "However, that does not mean we are safe.
People are constantly traveling between counties, especially during this festive season.
A single infected individual can introduce the disease here without knowing," he said.
