FILE - Health workers attend to patients suffering from cholera symptoms at a local hospital in Harare, Tuesday, Sept, 11, 2018. Zimbabwe has recorded 100 suspected deaths from cholera and more than 5,000 possible cases since late Sept. 2023. That has prompted the government to impose restrictions to stop the spread of the disease, including limiting numbers at funerals and stopping some social gatherings in affected areas.
Cholera is a water-borne disease that can spread rapidly in areas with poor sanitation and is caused by the ingestion of contaminated water or food. Zimbabwe struggles with access to clean water. The government has also said people should stop attending open markets, some social gatherings and outdoor church camps, where there is usually no sanitary infrastructure.Buhera, an impoverished southeastern district, is the epicenter of the current outbreak, the health ministry said, adding that cases have now spread to 41 districts in various parts of the country, including the capital, Harare.
