‘Cholera poses no threat to Jordan,’ says former Minister of Health – Roya News English

Sunday, the former Minister of Health, Dr. Saad Al-Kharabsheh, said that the last recorded case of cholera in Jordan was about 40 years ago. This came after the disease’s outbreak in Syria.

He told Roya that the death rate is zero or more precisely, “less than one percent,” adding that he does not think the disease poses a threat to Jordan.

He added that the symptoms of cholera are very mild, and the disease is no longer dangerous due to the availability of treatment as well as solutions that limit its spread.
