She has again thanked the state government and all partners for their tremendous support and efforts that is helping to cushion the cholera outbreak.
Mrs Abasioffiong has also called on cross riverians to continue to practice good hygiene, regular hand washing, proper closing of all drinking materials, and being careful with the water they drink stating that cholera is a waterborne disease that spreads and kills faster.
“Effective hygiene practices is the most scientifically proven way to break the route of transmission of cholera. As simple as effective hand washing before eating, after eating, after using the toilet, before breastfeeding, etc can do a whole lot of magic.” She added.
