Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cholera transmission is closely linked to inadequate access to clean water and sanitation facilities. Typical at-risk areas include peri-urban slums, and camps for internally displaced persons or refugees, where minimum requirements of clean water and sanitation are not been met.
Detailed explanation-2: -A person can get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with cholera bacteria.
