Terrence Mawawa| The suspected cases of typhoid in Kadoma have
risen to 11 from three last week, according to state media reports.

The city’s health director Dr Daniel Chirundu told state media on
Monday residents should not panic as the situation was under control.

“We are investigating 11 diarrhoea cases and we have taken samples to our laboratories,” he said.

“We are doing separate tests from this side, while other samples have been taken to Harare.
“Preliminary tests have, however, come out negative. We are reviewing the test results as there are chances of our laboratories making false
readings. We have, however, remained proactive while waiting for the final results by putting in place
adequate control measures to deal with typhoid,” said Dr Chirundu.
