Ayinde also added that cholera alert had been sent to all health facilities providing steps to take in case of a suspected case is identified.

He said the state hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, had been designated as a referral centre for treatment and equipped with materials to manage cholera cases.

The PS explained that the government, through the Water Corporation would commence screening of local sources of water in the affected communities.

Meanwhile, Ayinde, has warned residents of the state to desist from open defecations, declaring “any house found without a toilet would be sanctioned”.

He also appealed to the people to maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, urging them to wash their hands after going to toilets.
