Tuesday, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health for Primary Health Care and Epidemiology Affairs, Raed Shboul, announced that there were three cases suspected of having cholera in Jordan.

Shboul confirmed to Roya that the necessary measures had already been taken and it was proven that they were not infected with the disease.

The region has been experiencing an outbreak of cholera especially in Syria and Lebanon which recorded its first death just last week.

Notably, the former Minister of Health, Dr. Saad Al-Kharabsheh, said that the last recorded case of cholera in Jordan was about 40 years ago.
