BREAKING NEWS: Nigeria Declared Free Of Ebola by harizonal123(m): 11:30am On Oct 20, 2014

Nigeria has been declared officially free of
Ebola after six weeks with no new cases,
the World Health Organization (WHO)
says.
Africa's most populous country won praise for
its swift response after an infected Liberian
diplomat brought the disease there in July.
The WHO officially declared Senegal Ebola-free
on Friday.
The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people
in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone.
An estimated 70% of those infected have died in
those countries.
Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers are
meeting in Luxembourg to discuss how to
strengthen their response to the threat posed by
Ebola.
European countries have committed more than 500m
euros (£400m; $600m) but the UK is pressing to
double that amount.


The money is being sought to help reinforce
over-stretched healthcare systems in Liberia, Sierra
Leone and Guinea and to mitigate the damage
Ebola is doing to their economies.
Ahead of the talks, German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggested the EU could
send a civilian EU mission to West Africa that
would serve as a platform for sending medical
staff.
Another diplomat said there were plans for three
countries to spearhead aid to the region - the UK
for Sierra Leone, France for Guinea and the US for
Liberia.
Earlier, the Spanish government said a nurse who
became the first person to contract Ebola
outside West Africa had tested negative for the
virus.
