A female doctor who was on
admission at the Green Hart hospital where late Port Harcourt doctor, Iyke Enemoah, was treated after he got infected with the deadly virus by an ECOWAS official, has tested positive to Ebola.

Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu revealed this today September 1st during a meeting of the National Emergency Council on Ebola outbreak in Nigeria. Continue...

Speaking with all Commissioners for Health in Nigeria, Prof. Chukwu said the doctor who tested positive to
Ebola is now being treated at the Ebola isolation ward in Rivers state.

This recent confirmation brings to three the number of confirmed Ebola cases in Rivers state; the index case which is the ECOWAS official, Oluibukun Koye; the late Dr Iyke Enemoah who died on Friday August 22nd and the recently diagnosed female doctor.

Prof Chukwu said more cases of the Ebola Virus Disease were still being expected in Rivers state.

oh

I think we celebrated the containment prematurely.

The trepidation is back on start-mode again.

Prof Chukwu said more cases of the Ebola Virus Disease were still
being expected in Rivers state. High risk exposure and too many contacts. Right from the hotel the Ecowas official lodged to the hospital of the doctor who treated him and subsequent hospital he went for treatment. Also the contact with his family. What irks me the most is that we do not have checking facilities here even in Port Harcourt airport. The government isn't effective in curbing this dreaded disease.

Na wa o, when the care givers start being the Victims....

Ewo ooo...! This virus is spreading o

Ohhhh not again please. For how long are we gonna continue like this. So #sad
