Nigerians have been panicked for some days now when
a Liberian man with ebola virus died in Lagos. Well,
here is the good news, the Lagos state government says
no fresh case of Ebola virus has been discovered in the
state or in any part of the country.
According to the Special Adviser to the Lagos state
Governor on Public Health, Dr (Mrs) Yewande
Adeshina, all the 59 people who had direct or indirect
contact with late Liberian Patrick Sawyer who died last
Friday in Lagos from the virus, have been traced, tested
and found to be hale and hearty and have not exhibited
any unusual body temperature or any other symptoms
of the dreaded virus.
In a related development, the state Commissioner for
Information, Lateef Ibirogba advised residents to be
wary of the activities of fraudsters who are making
spurious claims about their ability to provide cure for
the Ebola Virus, urging them to always contact health
providers to report unusual feelings noticed as only
medical solutions are known to be appropriate for the
disease. He warned those making false claims of being
able to cure the disease to desist from it or would be
made to face the full wrath of the law once they are
caught.
He reminded residents of the State to make use of the
emergency phone numbers- 08023169485, 08033086660,
08033065303, 08055281442 and 08055329229 provided
to contact health authorities in case anyone with
observed symptoms of the Ebola disease is noticed
