#TakeResponsibility
Cholera is a preventable disease which is spread by ingesting food or water contaminated by the feces of an infected person.

Let us work collectively to prevent the spread of #cholera in Nigeria.
Today, the Presidential Steering Committee on #COVID19 met to update Nigerians on the national response to the pandemic

“We’re now in the third wave of #COVID19 in Nigeria with an average test positivity rate of 6%. While the increase in cases across states demonstrates that our surveillance system is working, we’ve built up our genomic sequencing capacity to detect emerging variants”

- Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, NCDC Director General.
