Fake An outbreak of cholera was recorded in Kyiv

Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that an outbreak of cholera was recorded in Kyiv due to cholera bacillus in the water. The authors of the messages urge people to brush their teeth and wash fruits and vegetables with boiled water. It is not true. 

The fact-checkers of the project Beyond the News investigated this case and found out that the information about the cholera outbreak is not true. Meanwhile, Kyivvodokanal also denied this information and reported that the quality of drinking water is monitored for epidemic safety indicators and sanitary-chemical safety indicators. There are no deviations from the norm, tap water is quite safe. Chief State Sanitary Doctor Ihor Kuzin said that Ukraine is ready to respond quickly in case of outbreaks of cholera. So far, they have not been fixed. According to him, there are enough drugs and diagnostic tools to diagnose acute intestinal infections, including cholera.
