In 2016, Havelock North, New Zealand, experienced a severe waterborne outbreak, affecting nearly 40% of its population. A new study reveals that the actual number of cases was significantly higher than previously reported, with over 5,500 locals and 2,200 visitors falling ill. The study, published in the New Zealand Medical Journal, found that pharmacies could serve as early warning systems for outbreaks, as they detected twice as many cases as traditional methods. This research highlights the importance of understanding how households cope with outbreaks and the need for proactive measures to prevent future occurrences.
