Mr. Ebenezer Tetteh, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Disease Control Officer, on Friday said the municipality had recorded 10 cholera cases.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Tarkwa, he said eight of the cases were recorded at the new Municipal Hospital at Bogrekrom, while two cases were recorded at the old Tarkwa Government Hospital.
