Porth-AU -Prince, Haiti The confirmation of five cholera cases in Haiti's capital is a "very worrying development," a U.N. Spokeswoman said.
Port-au-Prince still could be safe. The fiver patients were infected north of the capital, and those confirmed cases do not mean cholera has spread to Port-au-Prince, said Imogen Wall spokeswoman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Haiti.
" Our response system worked, but obviously this is a very worrying development, " she said.
Meanwhile, officials are stepping up sanitation efforts and setting up quarantine areas bracing themselves for a possible larger outbreak nationwide.
"I think the only responsible thing we can do at the moment is prepare and plan for the worst case scenario," Wall said.
In my opinion the people need to take care of their health.
