A cholera outbreak in Tanzania's commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, has killed five people and affected 820 others, mostly women and children, who have been hospitalised in the last few weeks, heath officials said on Monday.
"We call upon the public to observe health precautions by keeping their environment clean, boiling drinking water and making use of toilets," Tatu Mwaruka, a health officer in the city's Ilala Municipality, said.
Ilala is one of the districts forming the Dar es Salaam region with Kinondoni and Temeke. All combine to make the city of Dar es Salaam.
