“Rivers State is known for recurrent cases of acute watery diarrhea and cholera during dry seasons. These diseases pose significant health challenges due to the high mobility and mortality.”

She added that as at January 13 this year, the state recorded a total of 41 suspected cases in Andoni and Akuku-Toru local government areas of the state.

“Five were confirmed from Akuku-Toru and none yet from Andoni because of our inability to collect the samples from the reported cases by the time our team was notified.

“We have also recorded nine associated deaths, out of which three are from Andoni. Majorly, these deaths were reported and brought to our attention,” the commissioner said.
