Ogun govt alert residents over Cholera outbreak

The Ogun State government on Sunday night alerted the public on a possible cholera outbreak in Ijebu North Local Government area of the state.

The Special Adviser to Ogun State Governor on Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, in a statement said “there is an Outbreak of Cholera (Aarun òní gbá méjì) in the Ijebu North Local Government area of Ogun State.

“Cholera is known to occur during raining seasons and may also be associated with poor environment and personal hygiene.

“It is commonly present with stooling with or without vomiting leading to dehydration. Cholera can result to death if the severe dehydration is not promptly corrected,” she said.

The governor’s aide advised residents of the state to report all cases of stooling with or without vomiting to the nearest government health facility and notify the LGA DSNO: 08069788449.

Coker said, “Citizens should wash their hands frequently before and after using the toilet or eating”.

“Use water from clean sources, treat water before use and boil before drinking”. Wash and cook food thoroughly before eating.

“Prevent open defecation and be careful of the food and water you take, because cholera is caused by water or food contaminated with faeces,” shs added.

A resident of the LGA said there have been four casualties due to the outbreak, he said, “I can tell you that we have four casualties already and efforts are already ongoing to deal with this emergency, that is the much I can say for now”.
