Lagos doctor who treated the Liberian man
that died few days ago of Ebola Virus has
tested positive to the Virus, Nigeria’s Minister
of Health said on Monday.
The minister broke the news on Monday during
the inauguration of a treatment research group
for Ebola in Nigeria .
According to the Minister, 70 people are now
placed under surveillance while eight people
would be quarantined on Monday for developing
symptoms of the disease.
Apart from taking those steps, the government
has also set up a treatment research group, that
will carry out treatment research, receive and
verify treatment claims as well as advise
government on issues relating to Ebola virus in
Nigeria.
The group which is co-chaired by Professor Shingu
Gamaliel and Professor Innocent Ujah also has
Maurice Iwu, a Professor of Pharmacognosy and
officials from the Centre for Disease Control as
members.
The minister advised the public to be wary of
treatment claims including the use of bitter-cola
as most treatment findings are still in their
laboratory stages.
There is currently no known cure for Ebola virus
in the world, but medical experts say efforts are
on to find a remedy to the disease that has
claimed over seven hundred since its out-break
this year.

Hand Sanitizers are anti-bacterial, so carry soap and water. Also, a face-mask may not help as the virus isn't airborne, but it protects you from being coughed on.

Wash frequently, wear long-sleeved clothes. If you feel like you're having malaria, go and do a test to confirm.
