Four cases of cholera, a disease eradicated in the UK over a century ago, have been identified. Three cases are linked to travel to Ethiopia, where an outbreak has caused over 700 deaths. One UK case involved consuming imported holy water from Ethiopia. Two cases in Germany were also linked to travel to Ethiopia. The NHS warns of potential signs of the infection, which is usually contracted through contaminated food or water.
