Mozambique has declared an end to a cholera epidemic that infected more than 2,000 people.
Four of Mozambique’s 13 provinces were affected since the infection spread from the capital Maputo on January 5.
Four people died between Jan. 5 and April 22 out of the 2,131 cases registered by health authorities.
Five cholera treatment centers installed in the most affected provinces have already been dismantled.
Cholera causes severe vomiting and diarrhea and is often lethal if not treated swiftly.
Cholera typically strikes during Mozambique’s rainy season, between October and March, when unhygienic conditions and stagnant water cause the bacteria to flourish.
The infection can cause severe diarrhoea, dehydration and in the worst cases, death.
Mozambique has been deluged by heavy rains since October following two years of drought.
