Nurses drive away suspected ebola patient in lagos. by sholikay(m): 11:08am On Aug 13, 2014
There was commotion on
Monday, August 11 at the
General Hospital in Oke-Odo,
Agege, Lagos State, when a
woman suspected to be
infected with the deadly Ebola
virus showed up there.
According to sources in the
hospital who spoke to Daily Sun,
the frail looking lady who came
with blood oozing from her
mouth and nostrils was chased
out of the hospital by the nurses
on duty.
She was reportedly told to go to
the Yaba isolation centre created
by the Lagos State Government
for Ebola virus victims.
After she had left and the news
got to people in the area, they
panicked and ran in different
directions.
The traders within the vicinity
were said to have scampered in
different directions.
It took several hours before
normalcy was restored to the
area.
Three people have already died
of the Ebola virus in Nigeria. First
person was the Liberian man,
Patrick Sawyer who brought the
disease into the country,
followed by a nurse who took
care of him and a Protocol Officer
of ECOWAS who assisted him to
the hospital.
The death toll has continued to
rise and over a thousand people
have died in Guinea, Sierre Leone,
Liberia and Nigeria.

The hospital should have called the LASG and informed them , instead of chasing her to go and cause panic elsewhere.
