Nigeria Is Free From Ebola by haconjy(m): 5:19pm On Aug 01, 2014
Nigerians have been panicked for some days now when a Liberian man with ebola virus died in Lagos.

Well, here is the good news, the
Lagos state government says no
fresh case of Ebola virus has been discovered in the state or in any part of the country.

According to the Special Adviser to the Lagos state Governor on Public Health, Dr (Mrs) Yewande Adeshina, all the 59 people who had direct or indirect contact with late Liberian Patrick Sawyer who died last Friday in Lagos from the virus, have been traced, tested and found to be hale and hearty and have not exhibited any unusual body temperature or
any other symptoms of the dreaded virus. In a related development, the state
Commissioner for Information,
Lateef Ibirogba advised residents to be wary of the activities of
fraudsters who are making
spurious claims about their ability to provide cure for the Ebola Virus, urging them to always contact health providers to report unusual feelings noticed as only medical solutions are known to be appropriate for the disease. He warned those making false claims of being able to cure the disease to desist from it or would be made to face the full wrath of the law once they are caught.

He reminded residents of the State to make use of the emergency phone numbers-

08023169485,
08033086660,
08033065303,
08055281442 and 08055329229

provided to contact health authorities in case anyone with
observed symptoms of the Ebola
disease is noticed.
