The Ministry of Health has advised Kenyans to ensure they boil water before drinking as the country battles a cholera outbreak. A person can get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with cholera bacteria. The disease can spread rapidly in areas with inadequate treatment of sewage and drinking water. “To limit the spread of cholera, all Kenyans are advised to ensure they use clean and safe cooking and drinking water,” Health DG Patrick Amoth said. “If you don’t have safe bottled water, you should boil your water to make it safe to drink.
