As of epidemiological week (EW) 17 there were 714 suspected cholera cases reported and 16 deaths. The total number of cases in the 1st 17 weeks of 2016 exceeded the total recorded in 2014 (603 cases including 11 deaths) and in 2015 (546 cases including 15 deaths).
Cholera is a low risk for most travellers. Travellers to outbreak areas who will be mixing closely with the local population and cannot ensure safe drinking water can be immunised against cholera. A high standard of food/water precautions and personal hygiene should be maintained whenever possible.
