PUBLIC ADVISORY ON PUBLIC PROCESSIONS AND POSTPONEMENT OF ZAMBIA POLICE SERVICE NATIONAL BALL
Lusaka, Zambia – January 8, 2024
In light of the current Cholera outbreak affecting our community, the Zambia Police Service urgently urges the public to exercise extreme caution and responsibility by refraining from organizing or participating in public processions until further notice.
The health and safety of our citizens are of paramount importance, and we must take collective measures to contain the spread of Cholera.
The Ministry of Health has declared a Cholera outbreak in certain areas, and the situation requires immediate attention and concerted efforts from all members of the community.
Public gatherings, especially in the form of processions, pose a significant risk of exacerbating the spread of the disease.
As a result, the Zambia Police Service, in collaboration with relevant health authorities, advises against holding public processions until the Cholera situation is under control.
We appeal to the public to prioritize their well-being and that of their fellow citizens by avoiding large gatherings and complying with health guidelines.
Furthermore, in the interest of public safety, the Zambia Police Service National Ball, which was scheduled to take place on Friday, January 12, 2024, is hereby postponed to a later date.
We will announce the rescheduled date once the situation permits the safe holding of such a gathering.
We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the public in these challenging times.
The Zambia Police Service remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens.
Let us all join hands in combating the Cholera outbreak and safeguarding the health of our community.
For further updates and information, please stay tuned to official channels and local news sources.
Together, we can overcome this challenge.
