Here some good news. The number of Ebola cases in the country has been revised downwards while the number of suspected cases in Enugu has been drastically reduced. Besides, the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu has clarified that "there is no Ebola virus in Enugu. All cases are still confined to Lagos State"

These were the highlight of the statement issued yesterday evening by the minister in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Mr Dan Nwomeh. Enugu had been thrown in panic on Wednesday after Information Minister Labaran Maku announced that there were 21 suspected Ebola patients in the state. Prof. Chukwu's statement reads as follows

“Nigeria has now recorded ten (10) confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Out of these, four (4) has died and six (6) are currently under treatment. ( It is important to note that the number of confirmed cases remains ten (10) as at today( yesterday) and not eleven (11) as earlier announced this morning (yesterday morning) . We regret the error which arose from double counting in the process of communicating the additional death from the operational centre in Lagos to the Federal Ministry of Health). The fourth death recorded today (yesterday) was a Nigerian nurse who participated in the initial management of the index case.

”The total number of persons under surveillance in Lagos is now 169. These are all secondary contacts as well as the primary contacts have completed the 21-days incubation  and have been delisted to resume their normal lives.

"Enugu State now has 6 persons under surveillance as 15 after complete evaluation were found not to have had contact with the nurse, a primary contact of the index case who became symptomatic and tested positive and is one of the 10 confirmed cases.
The nurse who had been place under surveillance in Lagos  disobeyed the incidence management committee and travelled to Enugu. As at the time she made the trip, she was yet to show any symptom and did not infect anyone on her way as transmission of the disease is only possible when the carrier of the virus becomes ill. However, she has since been brought back to Lagos. Before the return journey,  she had become symptomatic and had to be conveyed to Lagos with her spouse in special ambulances. The husband is not symptomatic neither is he positive of the Ebola Virus Disease but he has been quarantined given the intimate contact with her while in Enugu.

“It is therefore important to emphasise that there is no Ebola Virus Disease In Enugu. All cases are still confined to Lagos State. Also, reports of Ebola Virus Disease in Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom and Anambra States as well as Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have all been investigated and none of them was found to be Ebola virus positive" ....

....

..“ Let me once again reassure Nigerians that the Government is working hard to ensure the containment of the outbreak"

“The fourth victim to have died of the EVD in the country is 25-year old Justina Obi  Ejelonu, pictured above,who attended to late Liberian Patrick Sawyer while he was ill at the First Consultant Hospital in Lagos. She died in the early hours of today (yesterday). Another nurse and a member of staff of ECOWAS commission who came in contact with Sawyer had earlier died of the disease”
