The Limpopo Health Department says 43 new cholera patients were admitted to various hospitals across the province overnight. Doctors in Musina have treated over 500 cases since the outbreak in mid November and eight people have already died of the water-borne disease on this side of the border. There are fears that the situation could worsen. The Health Department says it does not expect further deaths due to cholera in Musina in the Limpopo province. The department's spokesperson Fidel Hadebe says officials are doing everything they can to contain the spread. Hadebe says the department will continue to provide the necessary support to the Limpopo government to prevent the spread of cholera. "We are quite happy as the Department of Health so far in terms of the amount of work that has been done around containing the spread of cholera." |
