Cholera is spreading throughout Russia. According to recent reports the disease has spread to a second region of southern Russia in the semi-autonomous republic of Chechnya. Four people have died there. In the neighbouring northern Caucasus district of Dagestan, sixteen people have died and almost 500 have been infected. Despite a ban on street vendors and bathing in the sea and reservoirs, people continue to buy fruit and even dry fish from street stalls, and bathe in the contaminated rivers. Five towns in Dagestan were declared quarantine zones this month.
