2. BACKGROUND
Zimbabwe experienced torrential rainfall caused by Cyclone Idai from the 15th of March 2019 to the 17th of March 2019.Tropical Cyclone Idai which was downgraded to a tropical depression on the 16th of March 2019 caused high winds and heavy precipitation in Chimanimani, Chipinge, Buhera, Nyanga, Makoni, Mutare Rural, Mutasa and parts of Mutare Urban districts among other districts, causing riverine and flash flooding and subsequent deaths, destruction of livelihoods and properties. Chimanimani district was the most affected with two main centres having received the brunt of the cyclone, Ngangu Township of Chimanimani which experienced landslides and Ngangu growth point which experienced flooding. The immediate impact of the cyclone resulted in deaths of 181 people, with another 347 still missing. Those injured were 183, and they received immediate surgical care in the different health facilities across Manicaland Province. The Ministry of Health and Child Care is leading the health response to the effects of cyclone Idai with support from partners with overall guidance by the Civil Protection Unit at all levels. Focus has now shifted to ensuring continuity of health care, restoration of services and the prevention of outbreaks.
2.1 Coordination

3. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL OVERVIEW
3.1 Early warning alert and response Network.
Completeness of Reporting: Since the Early warning system was launched in the first week of April, 33 sites have been trained of which 23 are the existing health facilities and 10 are new satellite sites. Today 22 sites reported giving a completeness of 69%. Efforts are on-going to address challenges with the technology to enable all facilities to report. The trend of reporting is showing in figure below:

3.2 Diarrhoea Surveillance
The Province is on high for cholera, given the outbreak of cholera in Mozambique following the cyclone. The
interruption in the water and hygiene infrastructure in the most affected districts presents another risk for diarrheal
diseases As shown in the graph below, as of week 14 the trend of diarrheal diseases in Chimanimani district is
normal ( similar to the same period in 2017 and 2018) . There has been no report of death due to diarrhoea and
dehydration among the affected communities. Follow up of cases and active case finding amongst contacts is on-
going with 8 at Beta, 12 at Kaneta temporary clinic and 4 cases at Ngorima Clinic on 11 April followed up making a
cumulative 86 cases followed up thus far.

Inaccessibility of some of the areas like Chikukwa, and Muchadziya.
There is need for logistics support for the OCV campaign mobilisers (team of HPOs) to move around the district and work with the VHWs in trying to convey the message of the vaccination campaign. Areas which need intensive mobilisation are those in Nyanyadzi Valley and Cashel Valley.
Air lifting for both commodities and personnel to conduct OCV campaign in areas not accessible by road
7. RECOMMENDATIONS & PRIORITY FOLLOW UP ACTIONS
Multi-sectoral collaboration for the Oral cholera vaccination campaign. Given the impact of the Cyclone the Campaign will require more logistical support from partners and other agencies to reach all the vulnerable populations
