Cross River Government Warns Of Outbreak Of Haemorrhagic Fever by References: 2:12pm On Feb 24
Cross River Government warned about a possible outbreak of viral haemorrhagic fever in old Ndebeji, in Akamkpa Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.

Viral haemorrhagic fever is any group of infectious diseases that interfere with the blood’s ability to clot.

They are spread by contact with infected animals, people or insects. Examples include Ebola and yellow fever.

Commissioner for Health, Dr Henry Ayuk, said in Calabar that a suspected index case was currently being investigated in complete isolation at the Ndebeji healthcare centre.

He said he had directed the state’s epidemiologist and her team to work with the local government team to collect samples from suspected cases for diagnosis.

“They will provide palliative case management and institutionalise adequate infection prevention and control in the facility.

“They will also work with community leaders to identify and restrict movements of known contacts till the sample results of the suspected index client are out and entrench risk communication in the community.


“I must note that cases are most likely to present early with fever, rash, body weakness, bleeding from body openings or may even be asymptomatic,’’ he said.

Dr Ayuk appealed to residents to avoid rodents and insect bites, adding that they should put on personal protective wear if they must come close to livestock, other animals and zoos.

Health care workers need a heightened index of suspicion this time around in order not to get infected.


Observing infection prevention and universal precautions procedures is the surefire way of beating this outbreaks.

Please equip all hospitals with adequate PPEs

They should trace the root cause of the Infection, it shouldn't spread to neighboring states. This Specie of Southern calabar homosapiens are fond of eating, Dog, bat, cat and anything that crawls. They must be sanctioned to avoid any characteristics of the Wuhan people amongst good Nigerians, We don't want another outbreak. undecided undecided

Not in this Tinubulation. Nigerians fit go extinct under Balablu if we are to face another pandemic.
