LATEST NEWS ON EBOLA OUTBREAK!!! by citizenisb: 8:00am On Jul 31, 2014
INDICATIONS emerged, yesterday, that one of the 15 airport contacts that assisted the late Liberian, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, that died of Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, may have contracted the deadly virus.

Unconfirmed reports revealed that already the contact has begun to manifest symptoms of Ebola Virus.
According to a member of the Joint Federal and State Team on Ebola outbreak who preferred anonymity; one of the persons who accompanied late Patrick Sawyer is already showing signs of Ebola.

The reliable source confirmed receipt of a short message service, SMS, text that the person who assisted late Patrick Sawyer to move out of the plane is presenting symptoms, identifiable with EVD. “In fact, I just got a text that the person who helped Sawyer, the Liberian, to get out of the air plane is down with a suspected case of Ebola. You can see we have to be very careful. I cannot say specifically whether he or she is a Nigerian or in Nigeria right now. He is still being monitored as we speak,” he said.

Lagos State government for PR PURPOSES denies it: I hope they will not help to aggravate the spread of this virus

He added that the latest victim was among those who were being quarantined for having first contact with the victim.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government in a swift reaction through a text message said that no one of the 59 contacts is sick for now.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adeshina who responded through a text message said: “It is not true. We are doing routine surveillance, no one is sick.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/1-out-of-15-airport-contacts-down-with-ebola-virus-disease/#sthash.eelxtnMD.dpuf

Also, the Ogun State Governor; Senator Ibikunle Amosun has said that all health and other relevant officials in the border areas of the state have been put on red alert to forestall the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

He also appealed to doctors to end the lingering nationwide strike embarked upon by members of Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, barely a month ago.

Meanwhile, the Director General of the Nigerian Institute Medical Research, NIMR, Professor Innocent Ujah, has appealed to the federal and states governments as well as good spirited individuals to support the institute in its quest to upgrade its Human Virology Laboratory, HVL, to appropriately conduct research into the disease.

British airports and airlines are on high alert to prevent the deadly Ebola virus from reaching this country.

Passengers thought to have the virus will be barred from boarding flights heading to the UK – and will be held at immigration if they appear ill on arrival.

They will then be quarantined in highly secure isolation units, such as those at the Royal Free Hospital in North London.

But because it takes up to three weeks for symptoms to appear, there are fears some victims will slip through the net.

Doctors have been told to look out for symptoms of the disease and travellers returning from West Africa are urged to seek immediate medical help if they develop flu-like symptoms.

One of the deadliest diseases known to man, Ebola has already claimed more than 670 lives in its worst-ever outbreak.

For the first time, the virus, which kills up to 90 per cent of its victims, has spread out of the countryside to large towns and cities, raising fears it will arrive in Britain on an international flight.

It can be spread through sweat and saliva and there is no vaccine or cure.

There is no such thing as Routine Surviellance..

You either Quarantine all of them for 21 days observation or you are not doing Shiit to contain this mess.
How do you carry out surveillance on people carrying a deadly virus that can be transmitted by something as simple as a sweaty touch. angry

LASG is fhucking reetarded and Fashola should sack this Yewande biitch for making such a stuupid statement.

Another nonsense report from Vanguard. The Nigerian media should not extend their useless way of reporting politics to health related issues like Ebola.

What is the point of broadcasting information from an "anonymous" source? Is the anonymous source a health practitioner or an expert on Ebola? Did the anonymous source conduct any test? We didn't require any useless anonymous source before the Lagos state govt health authority broke the news about the first incidence of Ebola in Nigeria.

Any information that is not from the appropriate quarter- Lagos or federal health authority should be disregarded. Nonsense!
