Zimbabwe - Cholera Outbreak Factsheet #5
On January 10, WHO noted that the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe remained uncontrolled. For the week of January 4 to January 10, WHO reported a weekly CFR of 5.9 percent, similar to the weekly CFR reported two weeks earlier, attributing the significant decrease in the intervening week to lack of reporting during the holiday period. ' In Mozambique, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 11 deaths and nearly 1,300 new cholera cases between December 21 and January 4. OCHA reported no evidence of a significant trans-border epidemic between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, but noted that the Mozambican MOH has sent technical teams to strengthen monitoring in districts bordering Zimbabwe.
