The Central Regional Environmental Health Office has urged families to bury relatives who succumb to cholera without delay to prevent the spread of the disease.
According to the office, cholera-infected bodies remain highly contagious and could trigger an outbreak if not handled with care.
Mr Emmanuel Owusu Ashia, Regional Environmental Health Officer in charge of Hygiene Promotion, advised bereaved families to work closely with health officials to ensure proper disinfection and immediate burial. "When someone dies from cholera, the body should not be kept for long.
Burial must be done as soon as possible," he stressed.
