153 cholera cases recorded in Migori, Kisumu and Nairobi

The Ministry of Health says 153 cholera cases have so far been reported in Migori, Kisumu and Nairobi counties.

Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni on Sunday said of these cases, 53 have been reported in Migori, 56 in Kisumu, and 44 in Nairobi.

Muthoni said efforts are being made to stop the spread of the disease within and beyond the three counties.

“I remind the public of the need to observe personal hygiene such as hand washing, boiling drinking water, clearing bushes and using pit latrines,” the PS said after attending a church service in Gichugu, Kirinyaga County.

Muthoni further warned that open defecation should be avoided at all costs, as the floods continue in different parts of the country due to the ongoing rains.
