Chililabombwe District has recorded another cholera-related death, bringing the total fatalities to five, while the number of cases has risen to 70.
In the last 24 hours alone, 13 new suspected cases have been reported.
Currently, 35 patients remain admitted, while 33 have been discharged.
In response to the worsening outbreak, Copperbelt Province Minister, Elisha Matambo, visited the district on Tuesday to assess the situation and rally support.
His engagement with various stakeholders resulted in donations exceeding K91,000, along with 20 bags of chlorine and 200 liters of disinfectants, among other essential supplies.
Matambo said the outbreak needs concerted efforts as hygiene at the border is in bad state.
Chililabombwe District Commissioner Precious Njekwa described the situation as terrible as numbers keep on going high.
