Between 87 (Zewai) and 164 (Addis Ababa) persons per thousand people reported 10 have been sick in the previous 2 weeks. In terms of sickness episodes, these were between 87 and 18:j per 1000. Cough and other respiratory symptoms being the most frequently reported in all but Adamitulu, dominate the picture.
