What is suspected cholera?

A gut infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, caught from dirty food or water. It can kill within hours if not treated.

Signs
Sudden, heavy, watery diarrhoea that dries the body out fast. Many infected people have no signs or only mild illness.
How it spreads
Through food or water dirtied by an infected person's faeces. It spreads most where clean water and toilets are lacking.
How to protect yourself
Drink safe water, use toilets and wash hands with soap. A cholera vaccine taken by mouth also helps protect people.
Get medical help
Start oral rehydration solution (ORS) at once and go to a clinic for heavy watery diarrhoea. Quick treatment saves lives.

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
