Haiti reports a new outbreak of cholera in the country

MADRID, 3 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) has informed the public of the existence of a new cholera outbreak in the country, after notifying a confirmed case and announcing that it is studying several suspected cases.

"The Ministry informs the population of the detection of a confirmed case of cholera in Savane Pistache in the Port-au-Prince area and of suspected cases in Brooklyn, in Cité Soleil," reads the statement signed on Saturday by the ministerial portfolio. .

"The MSPP counts on the collaboration of the population as it takes the necessary measures to contain this outbreak: active community search for similar cases, case management, community response," the cabinet added.

In this regard, the Haitian government has asked citizens to take measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including hand washing, drinking clean water and defecating in modern toilets.

In the event that an individual presents symptoms compatible with the disease, the Ministry insists that you must go to the nearest health center to treat the disease.
