This sad development is coming 22 days after the first first case of the virus was recorded. The minister said the newly married nurse was among those that had direct contact with the late Liberian man, Patrick Sawyer, who is said to be the one who imported the disease into Nigeria.
Unfortunately, before the
Nurse was diagnosed, she had gone home and slept with her new husband. So, her
husband is now among the 177 people that government has placed under strict
surveillance in Lagos.
The Health Minister added
that, so far, nine persons have developed EVD, thus bringing the total number
of the confirmed Ebola cases in Nigeria to 10. Two persons have died as a
result of the virus in Nigeria.
All those who had primary
contact with late Sawyer had been placed on either surveillance or quarantined.
The minister confirmed that
the Ebola had so far been restricted to Lagos as it had not spread to other
states.

Omase o RIP
