The Lagos State Government says deaths from the cholera outbreak in the state have increased from 15 to 21, while infections also increased from 350 to 401 infections.
Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Health, Dr Kemi Ogunyemi, said the rise in cases was anticipated following the Eid-el Kabir celebration, in which large gatherings occurred.
Ogunyemi made the disclosure in an update released by Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, Director of Public Affairs in the state’s Ministry of Health on Thursday, June 20, in Lagos.
She said the cases increased to 401 across Lagos, with Lagos Island, Kosofe, and Eti Osa, recording the highest numbers of infections.
