koboko69: Hold Jonathan responsible for further spread of Ebola in PH. He allowed a senseless rally just cos of his desperation for a 2nd term, while schools are shut, church crusades banned, large gatherings also banned.

Ibyno: APC is a party of SCAM, river state done hear how much world bank and FG give. Fashola to fight EBOLA, so they wanna be a partaker of the money, that's why the invite or come up with the story of Ebola. 9ja a country where every thing s possible .

pDude: A female patient on admission in the same hospital as the late Port Harcourt doctor who treated a colleague of Patrick Sawyer has tested positive for Ebola virus disease, bringing total confirmed cases to 16.

Health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu told an emergency meeting of the national council on health in Abuja that the patient—the third confirmed case in Port Harcourt—was “presently under treatment” in an isolation ward in Rivers state.

The doctor, Iyke Enemuo, died last week, days after treating an ECOWAS diplomat colleague of Sawyer who evaded surveillance in Lagos after he was taken ill.

His wife, also a doctor, showed symptoms last week and was put in quarantine.

Two other contacts of the late Port Harcourt—including a doctor who managed him and a pharmacy technician in his hospital—were admitted into isolation treatment after they showed symptoms.

Their test results are yet negative for Ebola but “laboratory tests will be repeated to reconfirm their status,” said Chukwu.

All are the first confirmed cases of Ebola outside Lagos, where the virus first hit.

Some 199 people have been put under surveillance in Port Harcourt since last week, and none has completed the 21 day observation period.

“It is expected that a few more contacts will develop the EVD especially in Rivers State before Nigeria will see the last case of EVD,” Chukwu told health commissioners on Monday.

“While it is encouraging that so far, all confirmed cases of EVD in Nigeria have their roots in the index case, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, great vigilance is required particularly at our ports of entry to ensure we do not have cases of EVD from other sources other than Mr. Sawyer.

Lagos, where the outbreak started, has seen the number of people on surveillance drop to 72.

A total 278 contacts in Lagos have been taken off surveillance after completing a required 21 days—the period equivalent to the incubation of Ebola.

Enugu, the first city which came under threat after a nurse evaded surveillance in Lagos to be with family in Enugu, has seen no case of Ebola.

Six identified contacts there completed 21 days under observation and were let off.

In latest report presented to the council, the health ministry said total 13 people have been treated at isolation wards in Lagos. Seven have been discharged and two more on treatment in Lagos are said to be stable.

oluafolabi: .I think I find the 'Political conspiracy theory' of Ebola very hilarious.

davidif:

Rubbish. What an ignorant comment. Why don't you educate yourself about the disease before talking.
Ebola was first discovered in the Congo in 1976 by a Belgian Doctor. So stop watching too many movies or listening to your friends and other ignorant folks and do your own research bruh.

Here are sources below to educate yourself.

Bunsky: Honestly since my life,i have always known igbo to be wise and greedy,but dis doctor i doubt his tribe,imagine treating an ebola victim secretly all in d name of money,to d extent of affecting his own family.shm

Okudiover:

Don't flatter yourself some of the Nigerians killed are Igbo and you cannot shut the boundaries of the south east with its very frequent travellers across the Country. The only thing that will save us is for the authorities to take effective precautions including not being careless or overtly corrupt in allowing people under surveillance or quarantine to take off whenever they feel like it.

Hemanwel:
You are right.
I mean,sentiments apart,in a state where there has been one or two cases of Ebola, the rally was unnecessary.
I am also beginning to see the desperation side of GEJ for second term.If God wants him to rule again,he will.Not by putting people's life in danger in the name of 2nd term.
