Cholera confirmed in Spain’s Toledo province

In the Spanish province of Toledo, the authorities of the autonomous community of Castile-la-Mancha sealed one of the farms, because there was a case of cholera infection.

⠀
It became known that a minor resident of the autonomous community of Madrid drank untreated water on the farm and was hospitalized after contracting cholera.

⠀

According to preliminary data, the liquid was taken from a local well, but authorities are trying to more accurately determine the source of its origin.

⠀
If the version with the well is confirmed, then this cholera infection could become the first autochthonous (independent of external factors) case in the country since 1979.

⠀
Local authorities stressed that there are no risks for the local population yet. But the farm was closed to the public.
