The Oyo State government has called for vigilance and the adoption of precautionary measures to prevent the spread of a potential cholera outbreak in the state.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dọtun Oyelade, quoted the health commissioner, Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, to have given the charge during her visit to a private hospital in Ibadan where two suspected cholera cases were receiving treatment.
Mrs Ajetunmobi noted that cholera is a bacterial infection spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the faeces of an infected person.
