The ministry said the outbreak had left "18 dead out of 570 cases recorded" between September 1 and October 30, and urged local authorities to take measures to avoid the disease from spreading.
In 2015 Tanzania was struck by a major outbreak of cholera which infected some 10,000 people and left 150 dead.
Cholera is transmitted through contaminated drinking water and causes acute diarrhoea.
