The Lagos State Government on
Wednesday said it has recorded
five new suspected cases of Ebola
Virus Disease on Tuesday.
The Commissioner for Health,
Dr. Jide Idris, who disclosed this
at a press conference in Alausa

He explained further that the

contacts with the late Liberian,

disease into the country.
The commissioner said, “The fresh
suspected cases have increased the
number of patients in isolation
wards from two to six.”
Idris explained that there were
three suspected cases before the five
new cases were brought in. He
added that the suspected case
─ a Liberian who was brought into
the isolation centre from the
Muritala Muhammed International

─ had been released, having tested
negative to the Ebola Virus
Disease.
He said, “Till date, we have
recorded eight suspected cases, five
of which were brought in
yesterday. We have 12 confirmed
cases on the whole out of which
five have died and five have been
discharged. We are currently
following up on 213 contacts while

They are contacts that have been under surveillance.

And a new suspected case.

The way these media houses have been headlining Ebola stories have been so misleading.
