Here are some facts about cholera:

*Cholera can cause severe diarrhea, dehydration, and even death if the disease goes untreated.
*People living in places with unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene are at highest risk of cholera.
*Cholera is a major public health concern in developing countries with poor sanitation and water treatment systems.
*The primary cause of cholera is infection with the bacteria Vibrio cholerae.

To prevent and control cholera:
1. Focus on safe water and sanitation;
2. Proper food handling, and hand hygiene;
3. Drink and use safe water sources;
