Nigeria To Screen Airline Travellers For Ebola by Nobody: 7:28am On Jul 27, 2014 |
Nigerian officials say they are screening passengers arriving from foreign countries for symptoms of Ebola, after a traveller from Liberia died of the contagious disease in Lagos. Aviation officials said on Saturday they are screening passengers arriving from abroad and health officials are distributing information about how to identify Ebola symptoms. Spokesman for Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria Yakubu Dati says airports are also setting up holding rooms in case another potential Ebola victim lands in Nigeria. Doctors say health screens could be effective, but Ebola cannot be diagnosed on the spot and many symptoms are similar to more common diseases like malaria. Plan International's head of disaster response Unni Krishnan warned that an outbreak in Lagos, Africa's largest city with 21 million people, could be disastrous. http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/nigeria-to-screen-airline-travellers-for-ebola-565850 |

pickabeau1: If this is true..belated response Really? I do not agree with you at all. We are talking about routine screening of all passengers from high risk areas, not just symptomatic ones. And this is an informed decision that came immediately WHO blew the whistle yesterday that the more stringent measures need to be taken. The passenger that arrived from Liberia was handled professionally and prior to that WHO never advocated any aviation restrictions. No other contact has tested positive for Ebola so how in the world is it a belated response? We needn't always be overtly critical. This is one issue I can say Nigeria has handled well so far. 1 Like |

Ebola was announced in west Africa ad far back as Marc and we just started screening now We are lucky this guy fainted at the airport. What about those infected who showed no signs and may have entered the country? There is so much regional movement and this has taken four months before we started screaming....puhleeze..... Medical workers are on strike We don't have a coordinated response plan for a contagion of this nature It seems to be divine that he fainted just at the entry point into west Africa's most populous city.. Just luck Blind and naive defense of poor policies in the guise of patriotism..well... eaglechild: 1 Like |

pickabeau1: Ebola was announced in west Africa ad far back as Marc and we just started screening nowDo you have any idea what a screening exercise entails? If that be the case then every aircraft from Nigeria going to any destination should have all its passengers screened on arrival, but is that the case? Does it then mean that Britain, France, US etc are lax since a case of Ebola death has been reported in Nigeria and they have not been screening all passengers? Please reason before you critise. This is not about patriotism but clear facts and figures. |

Lol . Now we should tailor health crises to what the oyibo are doing Haha I have an idea..thank you It is not about Nigeria dude...its the fact that ebola was reported five months ago in a regional neighbor in a region where movement is unhampered....do you get it?? Immediately I saw it on BBC then..i knew...i knew it will b a matter of time before it gets to Lagos..its not rocket science Dude.... Maybe you will get it now... Last week a passenger was screened in Heathrow CDC Atlanta are sending specialists to Africa to study an African diaease Dude...get it.? What is naija doing eaglechild: |
