Soil fever is a bacterial infection that can be contracted through contact with contaminated water or soil. Symptoms include fever, headache, and muscle aches, and can be severe if left untreated.

The Ministry of Public Health is urging residents to be vigilant and take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of diseases. By working together, we can minimize the risk of infection and keep our communities safe.
