A case of typhoid confirmed in Tongatapu

Tonga’s Ministry of Health has yesterday announced  a number of restrictions after a case of typhoid fever had been identified in the village of Vaini on Wednesday 12.

The case was announced with a warning regarding others’ risk.

Activities such as social gathering, feasting and drinking kava at Kava clubs are some of the events health officials say were included in the restrictions they enforced in the village.

Officials advised that people should make sure the food they eat are well cooked and make sure the water they drink are safe such as boiled water.
