Apart from the three regions in the north of Ghana, the outbreak has ravaged through seven<\/strong><\/span><\/a> regions of the country, affecting over 10,000 and killing more than 120 people.<\/p>\n

However cholera cases in some of the worst affected areas in Accra have begun seeing some level of decline<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the La Dadekotopon area, the infection rate has declined by about 50% in the last thirty days.<\/p>\n

In the Accra Metropolitan Assembly the number of reported cases has decline by about 20%.<\/p>\n

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has embarked on a move to close down local restaurants (chop bars)<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and relatively high end ones<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>that sell food under unhygienic conditions to customers in a bid to halt the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n
