Cholera Surges in Rainy Season: Essential Steps to Protect Yourself

Cholera hasn’t disappeared—it spikes whenever floodwaters mix with sewage and trash during the rainy season. That murky floodwater carries germs straight to your skin and footing.

Keep your hands clean, clear away rubbish around your home, and seek medical help if you notice watery diarrhoea or vomiting.
