Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja


The Federal Ministry of Health says all the Monkey Pox test samples obtained from Lagos tested negative .

The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole , said this during a press conference in Abuja on Monday .

He said only three cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in Nigeria.

Adewole said , “ As of October 13, 2017, there were 17 SUSPECTED cases reported from Yenagoa LGA in Bayelsa State.

“ We have received laboratory confirmation for Monkeypox virus from three of these cases from the WHO Regional Laboratory in Dakar, Senegal . Samples from 12 other cases from Bayelsa were negative .

“ With these results , four suspected Monkeypox outbreak in Yenagoa have been confirmed with laboratory evidence. The most likely source of infection is a primary zoonotic transmission , from an animal , with secondary person - to - person transmission .

“ Since our initial announcement, a total of 43 other SUSPECTED cases have been reported from eight other States ( Akwa Ibom , Cross River, Ekiti, Lagos , Enugu , Nasarawa , Rivers , and FCT). Of these, four cases from Lagos have also been tested and confirmed to be negative for the Monkeypox virus.

“ We expect that many of these cases being reported from other states in Nigeria are not caused by the Monkeypox virus , but we will continue to investigate all those cases that fit the case definition .

“ Further laboratory tests using whole genome sequencing are being carried out by the Africa Centre for Genomics and Infectious Diseases in Redeemers University Ede , Ogun State. ”[quote]

Below are the seven ways of
preventing the monkey pox disease:


1. Avoid eating monkey banana.


2. Be careful when crossing monkey
bridge.


3. For those of you that have monkey
jacket, burn it immediately.


4. For football lovers, avoid playing
monkey post. It's dangerous


5. Stop drinking monkey tail or
coscorin.


6. Avoid DAVIDO song "banana fall on
u" because monkey loves banana


7. Add yours
