The number of people infected by a cholera outbreak in Guinea Bissau doubled in July to more than 600 and infections have spread to areas of the country previously considered low risk, health experts warn.
Of 611 people in Guinea Bissau who have contracted the disease this year, 344 of them were infected in July, according to the government’s statistics. So far 14 people have died. The outbreak has reached Gabu and Bafata, two areas normally immune from infection, and six other regions.
