The Cross River Government is actively working to contain a cholera outbreak in Obubura and Biase, two Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state, Dr Henry Ayuk, the Cross River Commissioner for Health, revealed in Calabar at the weekend.

Ayuk confirmed that one case was identified in Obubura and two in Biase.

He announced the activation of an Emergency Operation Centre by his ministry, appointing Dr. Blessing Ekpenyong, the State Epidemiologist, as Incident Manager to coordinate the response efforts.

The commissioner stated that the Surveillance Unit and Logistic Management Coordinating Unit of the state Ministry of Health are putting response commodities, including drugs donated by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), in place. These will be sent to the affected wards.
