The Director General of the Ghana Health Ser­vice (GHS), Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, has entreated the public to keep up with hand hygiene and sanitary practices to curtail the spread of cholera in the country. "We need to go back to the san­itary systems that were put in place during the COVID-19 era.

Hand washing, eating of warm food, clean environment and all.

That's the only way we will be able to contain this spread quickly," he advised while updating journal­ists on the recent outbreak in the Greater Accra region, yesterday.

Following the confirmation of 43 cholera cases and two deaths in the Ada West and Ada East Dis­tricts of the Greater Accra Region two weeks ago, another outbreak has hit the Awutu Senya East Dis­trict of the central region.
