The Rivers Commissioner for
Health, Sampson Parker , on
Wednesday said there were 340
Ebola Virus disease (EVD) cases
under surveillance in the state.
Parker made the remark in Port
Harcourt during a sensitization
workshop at Ogu, in Ogu/Bolo local
government area.
He said the state government was
not in a hurry to reopen primary
and secondary schools because of
the situation.
Parker stressed that government
would announce a date for re-
opening of public schools after
assessing the situation in the next
few weeks.
The commissioner advised people of
the area to imbibe a healthy life
style to avert contracting the
disease.
Parker urged them to always wash
their hands with soap and water.
“We want schools to reopen as soon
as possible, but we are still
assessing the situation before we
can do anything,’’ he added.
He called on the people to always
report cases of deaths and stop the
habit of burying dead bodies in a
hurry.
The commissioner urged people of
the area to alert local government
disease surveillance officers as soon
as there were cases of deaths.
“As a matter of fact, every death
must be reported to local
government health officials before
anybody can touch it,’’ Parker said.

And here I am, thinking that EVD has finally been contained. May none of them show EVD symptom oh

This news is a big scam. They are just waiting to justify the huge sum of money that has been budgeted into this ebola case in PH. Our politicians are not helping us at all. Just recently they said the mortuary attendants that were quarantined are free of ebola yet they still have this large number. Even lagos that is supposed to have a larger number have said they don't cos they know what playing politics with the number of people will do to their economy but since we in PH solely depend on oil money, we don't care about that. And please this isn't about APC or PDP.
