Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, announced on Monday that four additional confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease—including two male medical doctors and one female nurse—are now disease free, and have therefore been discharged.

In a statement distributed by Dan Nwomeh, his Special Assistant on Media and Communication, the Minister explained that the three participated in the treatment of the index case while the fourth person was a female patient at the time the index was on admission.

“This brings to five the total number of patients diagnosed with Ebola Virus Disease who have now been discharged from hospital,” he said.

The Minister made no reference to another nurse in Lagos who today tested positive for the infection in Lagos. Anonymous sources said the female nurse, referred to as “Nkechi,” had been under quarantine.

As reported earlier by SaharaReporters, doctors monitoring “Nkechi” said she initially tested negative and had been cleared to leave the center. She then suddenly developed high temperatures, and fresh tests showed she still had the virus.

On the one hand; thank God. On the other hand; why the rush to discharge them? Why not put them in a different place for a longer period and test them over and over again to ascertain their true status? Is there a trophy for the Country with the most 'discharged' patients? Just curious.

Imagine if the nurse had left the center before she started showing symptoms again! God help us to get this right.

This is the time to be more careful...why the rush Any mistake now could be very costly...Baba God na Your Hand we dey o.
