There have been 30 cases of typhoid fever reported since the beginning of the year.
Health Ministry permanent secretary Dr James Fong said 11 cases were from the Central Division, 14 in the Western Division, and five in the North.
“Case numbers of typhoid fever are below the expected numbers for this time of year,” he said.
“Typhoid fever is typically found in areas that do not have access to clean drinking water such as rural areas and urban informal settlements.
“We strongly encourage people who live in these areas, and any other areas without access to clean drinking water, to boil all drinking water.
“We must all also continue to practise basic hygiene measures such as frequently washing hands with soap and water, but especially after visiting the toilet and before eating or preparing food.”
