Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has recommended that Ukrainians traveling to Nigeria strictly follow hygiene rules, as well as consult with the medical establishments on the possible preventive measures due to a serious outbreak of cholera in the country.

As the information policy department of the Ukraine's Foreign Ministry reported, the cholera outbreak happened because a great number of residential areas located along the coast have been flooded. As a result, groundwater reservoirs were polluted.

About 90 people have died in the cholera outbreak in Nigeria, and over 600 people have been hospitalized.
