As seen from Figure 2 and 2.1, sustained and consistently increasing community transmission was established in Juba from the 6 June 2015 [23

rd epidemiological week] with two transmission peaks in week 27

and 29.However, cholera cases have been declining since 20 July 2015 [30th epidemiological week]. Ongoing

transmission in Juba during week 33 is largely driven by cases reported from Northern Bari, Munuki, and Rejaf Payams (Annex 1 and 2). In Bor, the initial case occurred on 26 June 2015 [26

th epidemiological week] with increasing number of cases

from week 26 to week 27 when the highest transmission peak was registered. In the subsequent weeks, successively shorter transmission peaks were registered, a trend that is consistent with declining community transmission (Figures 2 and 2.1).

Most of the culture confirmed cases have been reported from Juba 3 PoC, New site, Munuki, and Nyakuron West in Juba while in Bor, Malou and Achingdii have registered the highest number of confirmed cases (Figure 4). Seven stool samples were shipped to the Central Public Health Laboratory in Uganda for testing. Vibrio cholerae Inaba serogroup, 01 serotype was isolated from one of the samples while six samples tested negative for cholera but were positive for nonpathogenic Escherichia coli. Three isolates were confirmed as positive and three negative samples tested negative on repeat testing in Uganda thus confirming earlier test

groups are as followed:

COMMUNICATION Intensive cholera awareness campaigns continue through 22 radio stations in Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Upper Nile State and Mingkaman IDP camp

This week, 50 UNICEF-trained volunteers from South Sudan Red Cross conducted house-to-house cholera awareness reaching 3,280 households (19,680 Individuals) and distributed 3,280 Sachets of ORS and 22,960 sachets of PUR. This brings to a cumulative total of 13,946 households (over 83,600 individuals) reached with cholera prevention and control key messages.

The Central Equatoria State Ministry of Health conducted 7 days of intensive cholera awareness through Street Announcements covering main streets, residential areas and market places (Konyokonyo, Juba Town, Gumbo, Shirkat, Munuki, Gudele, Jebel Market, New Site, Gurei, CheckPoint, Rock City, Thonping, Mauna and Khor Romula). The street announcements educate public on cholera prevention and controls reaching over 50,000 people with key messages and over 1000 posters and other IEC materials have been distributed to shopkeepers to display in shops in the above areas.

The social mobilization group, this week held refresher trainings for 121 social mobilizers who will be deployed Juba Block, Kator Block, Nyakuron East and West, Rajaf Payam and Gondokoro Islands. The social mobilizers will educate communities on critical practices to prevent and control cholera targeting estimate of over 15,000 households

The trained school club members will conduct cholera prevention and hygiene promotion activities in schools targeting 3,000 school children with hygiene messages.

This week during commemoration of International Youth Day, Community leaders together with Community Health Committee educated a gathering of about 6,000 youth and children on cholera prevention and control and other communicable diseases.

In Bor Jonglei, 45 social mobilizers reached 2,630 households (15,780 Individuals) this week with cholera messages in Bor town and PoC. The trained social mobilizers also conducted 17 community meetings in Bor town and PoC which were attended by community leaders and women and youth representatives.

WASH

The WASH cluster distributed WASH supplies including soap, collapsible jerry cans and Aquatabs® to 4,000 households in Manga Tain IDP camp.

UNICEF is contracting dislodging at Juba Teaching Hospital (JTH) CTC as well as providing fuel (200L) to support the backup generator for pumping water to the elevated tank and for incineration purposes

Health Cluster Case management surveillance and laboratory update With the support of WHO during week 33, the state rapid response teams verified four cholera alerts in Hai Referendum, Lologo, and Mobil in Juba; and Pibor. Two of these were confirmed as probable cholera deaths (Lologo and Hai Referendum) while investigations and appropriate public health responses are underway in response to the alerts from Mobil in Juba and Pibor. With the support of WHO onsite rapid diagnostic testing for cholera is ongoing in all CTCs with 322 RDT positive samples. In addition, National Public Health Laboratory has confirmed 46 cholera cases by microbiological culturing. The Health cluster continues its efforts to improve access to timely rehydration with three operational cholera treatment centers (Juba Teaching Hospital [JTH], Munuki, and Bor State Hospital), one cholera treatment unit (Juba 3 PoC), and six ORPs in Nyakuron, Kator, Gurei, Munuki, Al Sabah, and Lologo. A four- day, two-dose OCV campaign in Malakal PoC with targeted population of 33,378 ended on 16 August 2015 with an administrative coverage 37,718 individuals aged one year and above reached. During a separate OCV campaign a total of 7,058 individuals were reached with single-dose OCV, soap, water purification tablets, and hygiene promotion leaflets in Lokuilili, Kor Williams, Munuki Block B, and Bodyri in response to the confirmed cholera cases reported In response to the declining cholera cases treated at the designated cholera treatment facilities, with the support of WHO the following have been instituted.

Onsite cholera rapid diagnostic testing for all new cholera cases seen at oral rehydration points, cholera treatment units, and cholera treatment centers is ongoing

Mobile laboratory teams from state Ministry of Health and MSF-Holland have been trained and facilitated to support testing at the designated cholera treatment facilities.

The Central Equatoria state rapid response team has been reactivated to conduct community surveillance and response in all the current transmission hotspots. Their interventions will entail active case search, initiation of oral rehydration therapy for all new suspect cases, referral of suspect cases, hygiene promotion including the distribution of nonfood items like water purification tablets and soap to affected households.
