BCC health services director Edwin Sibanda told source in an interview that there are 13 cumulative cases with 13 cumulative recoveries and zero d3aths.

“We have had no cases for more than three weeks. There are zero new confirmed cases, 13 cumulative confirmed cases, 0 new cholera d3aths and 13 cumulative recoveries. We have also recorded zero active confirmed cases, zero new suspected cholera cases and 46 cumulative suspected cholera cases,’’ Sibanda said.
