Cordilian Fever Cases Plateau in Some Areas, Surge in Others as Governments Adjust Response Strategies
Alkantara, Krauanagaz— Public health authorities across Southern Cordilia reported mixed progress today in containing the months-long Cordilian Fever outbreak, with some regions seeing early signs of stabilization while others face sharp spikes in new infections.
In Okhoa, the Ministry of Health announced that daily new case numbers have plateaued for the first time in six weeks, with the reproductive rate falling below 1.0 in four Zarhmas. Interim Health Minister Áma Drovai attributed the shift to “consistent application of localized lockdowns, targeted vaccination drives, and rapid-response medical units.” However, she cautioned that the picture is far from uniform, pointing to “severe flare-ups” in coastal settlements where recent celebrations following the Zuhlgani withdrawal brought large, maskless gatherings.
Krauanagaz’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported a worrying uptick in the northern provinces of Krautallaz and Zhzoatal, where refugee camp populations remain densely packed despite repeated calls for decongestion. Aid groups warned that conditions in these camps, many still recovering from the early-year natural disasters, are ripe for rapid viral spread.
In Zuhlgan, official figures remain contested. The Dominion Health Ministry has reported “only minor increases” in case numbers, but independent observers, including the Cordilian Epidemiology Network (CEN), claim local outbreaks in at least three inland regions are “severely underreported.”
