A cholera outbreak in South Africa has killed 43 more people while 197 others were infected, the health ministry said on Monday, urging the public to stick to health precautions to keep the waterborne disease at bay.
While the infection rate has slowed down thanks in part to a national campaign aiming to clamp down on the outbreak, a ministry statement said that improved hygiene conditions could halt a further spread of the disease.
South Africa reported a cholera outbreak last February, when the first fatality linked to the ailment was registered.
