Malawi has reported more than 1,000 deaths from a cholera outbreak that started in March 2022, the country’s health ministry said in a statement Wednesday. Cases reported since the outbreak has risen to 31,241, according to the statement, while the death toll stands at 1,023. Health minister Khumbize Chiponda said in a press conference on Thursday that cholera deaths had multiplied within the last month. “Within four weeks, the numbers have doubled,” she said.
The current fatality rate surpasses the country’s largest cholera outbreak which killed more than 900 people between 2001 and 2002. Malawi’s health ministry said 1,126 people suffering from cholera were currently admitted in treatment units, adding that all of the country’s 29 health districts had been affected by the disease since the outbreak began. The ministry also warned people to be careful when handling the bodies of cholera victims and preparing them for funerals.
