A Lagos doctor who treated the
Liberian man that died few days ago of Ebola has tested positive to the
virus. Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu, confirmed
this today in Abuja during a periodic briefing organised by his ministry
to update Nigerians on the latest development on the deadly disease.
"As at today, one of the doctors that treated the late Mr Sawyer has tested positive to the Ebola
virus," the health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu told reporters. Adding that they had identified 70 people with whom Sawyer had been in contact, eight of whom had been transferred to isolation wards in Lagos.
Dr. Onyebuchi however assured members of the public that the Federal government was doing everything within its powers to stop the outbreak of the disease in the country but enjoined everybody to embrace good hygiene and constantly wash their hands.
