🟡 Personal and public hygiene are essential factors in maintaining public health in any society.
🟡 In Shendi city, it has become necessary to intensify efforts to raise awareness about the importance of hygiene, especially in light of the outbreak of infectious diseases. Improving hygiene can reduce the risk of transmission of diseases such as cholera. Even though the city is very humid, lack of awareness can lead to epidemics. Hygiene awareness must therefore be an integral part of citizens' daily lives.
🟡 Recently, increasing cases of cholera have been detected in neighboring cities such as Al-Damer, Atbara and Berber.

Traders and citizens must ensure that they follow good health practices, such as washing hands and avoiding large gatherings.
