Cholera outbreak: Death toll hits 29, as Lagos records 579 suspected cases
The Lagos State Ministry of Health has confirmed 29 deaths and 579 cases since the cholera outbreak since two weeks ago.
Prof. Akin Abayomi, the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, revealed on Monday during an ongoing press briefing that the fatality rate was caused by patients arriving late or dying at the facility.
He added that no case had been reported in schools.
“For the past two weeks, we have recorded 29 deaths and 579 suspected cholera cases. The 29 deaths was caused by patients being presented late that we couldn’t resuscitate them.”
On June 11, 2024, Abayomi, in a statement, warned that the state had recorded an excess report of severe gastroenteritis cases.
Abayomi disclosed that cases of severe gastroenteritis have been reported in communities around Eti-Osa, Lagos Island, Ikorodu, and Kosofe Local Government Area of the state.
