first three cases of “local” cholera confirmed

The first three cases of “local” cholera were detected in Mayotte, where ten imported cases among migrants, especially from neighboring Comoros, have been reported since mid-March, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) said on Friday.

The cases, the first from internal contamination in the Indian Ocean department, were “identified in the commune of Kungu” north of Mamoudou, ARS Director General Olivier Braic said during a press release, specifying “the most.” “probably” was that these patients were infected by “a sick person (who) did not appear to Samu.”
