Authorities say many of the cases are linked to universities, where close contact among students has increased the spread. Most of those affected are young people.
Public health teams have stepped up monitoring, contact tracing, and awareness campaigns to control the situation.
Meningitis is a serious infection that affects the brain and spinal cord, and it can spread through coughing, sneezing, or close contact.
Officials are advising students and the general public to watch for symptoms such as fever, headache, stiff neck, and sensitivity to light.
They say anyone with these symptoms should seek medical help immediately.
Health authorities also stress that vaccination and early treatment are key to preventing severe illness, as investigations continue.
