As of 22 July 2021, a total of 31 rotavirus cases have been confirmed by laboratory testing.
Hospital surveillance in the past two weeks noted an increase in the number of diarrhoea cases being reported and admitted to the hospital.
The diarrhoeal virus upsets the stomach or the bowels or both, causing severe diarrhoea and weakness and may lead to severe dehydration and eventually death if not managed quickly.
Rotavirus is the most common of diarrheal disease in children under the age of 5 years worldwide.
