[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 45861, member: 636"] Health officials found another cholera case in Opuwo on Tuesday. A 13-year-old boy became sick with the disease. The child had no contact with other patients who caught cholera earlier. Ministry spokesperson Walters Kamaya shared details about the new case. The boy suffered from watery diarrhea and stomach pain but doctors say he remains stable. Hospital staff admitted the teenager on June 20th. Medical workers released him two days later after his condition improved. Officials called his family Tuesday morning to check on everyone at home. The family reported feeling well with no new symptoms. Health workers continue monitoring the situation closely. Minister Esperance Luvindao announced the cholera outbreak last week. Eight people have caught the disease since it started. One person died from the illness. The World Health Organization sent money to help fight the outbreak. Three emergency workers arrived Monday to assist local health teams. Two specialists focus on talking with community members about preventing cholera. Another expert handles water safety and cleaning programs. American disease control experts also joined the response effort. One epidemiologist and a public health advisor came from the CDC office. The team works together to stop cholera from spreading further around Opuwo. [/QUOTE]
