The death toll from Cholera outbreak in Kogi has increased as four more people in a small community, Daba in Lokoja Local Government Area of the state have died.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

Ebira Reporters<\/a> gathered that some number of people in the community were suffering from the ailment.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control had reported a total 19,305 suspected infections have been reported this year, ravaging Kogi and 17 other states in the country.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In the report, the disease had killed 479 of the infected people in the affected states and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Cholera killed 31 people between July 5 and July 11, 2021.<\/p>\n

However, a resident of Daba community in Kogi, Abubakar Suleiman stated that lack of access to potable water in the community of no fewer than 200 people<\/p>\n

\u201cAs at Wednesday, four people have been confirmed dead in my community due to cholera outbreak. This happened because my community could not access potable water.<\/p>\n

“We are using this medium to call on the government to do something before more lives will be lost. Similar outbreak occurred in Tsanawa community about a month ago, killing three people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cholera is an acute diarrhea disease caused by bacteria called vibrio cholera. It is a potentially life-threatening, and primarily a water-borne disease.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of the disease include nausea and vomiting , dehydration which can lead to shock, kidney injury and sudden death , passage of profuse pale and milky, watery stool (rice water coloured), and body weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The death toll from Cholera outbreak in Kogi has increased as four more people in a small community,…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184,2],"tags":[185,34,200],"class_list":{"0":"post-896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-health","7":"category-news","8":"tag-cholera","9":"tag-kogi","10":"tag-nscdc"},"yoast_head":"\nDeath Toll Rises as Cholera Kills Four in Kogi -
