Kenya's Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni has issued a strong warning about the potential for increased outbreaks of cholera and malaria due to the ongoing March–April–May long rains.

• The heavy rainfall and flooding are expected to contaminate water sources and create ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, heightening the risk of water- and vector-borne diseases.
• The warning comes from the Ministry of Health Kenya.
• Kenyans are urged to practise strict hygiene, ensure drinking water is safe, and seek immediate medical attention for concerning symptoms.
