No Nigerian infected with Ebola---Lagos govt
(Nigeria )
No Nigerian has so far been infected with the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, while about
59 persons have been identified to have had contact with the late Liberian, Mr
Patrick Sawyer, who died of Ebola virus in Lagos State .
Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide idris, who
spoke in Lagos
on Monday, said "Airline manifest has not been provided by the airline
at the time of this report and therefore the precise number of passenger
contacts is yet to be ascertained, especially as two flights were involved
Monrovia - Lome and Lome- Lagos. There was no report of medical incident filed
and the General Declaration report of the flight.
"No Nigerian is infected, but all contacts are being
actively followed.
"We call on all Nigerians to be calm and not panic and
do hereby assure them that both the State and Federal Governments are up in
arms to ensure that the virus did not escape and that no Nigeria is infected with this virus.”
