It was recently reported that there was an immigrant from Monrovia, Liberia, working for the government, who came in to Nigeria on Sunday,20 July, after stopping by in Lome Togo. He was was noticed this week where he was lying helplessly in the megacity of Lagos that contains over 20 million people. At this point, he was just confirmed today that he has been infected with the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), although, he is now dead. After series of interrogation and investigation, he was said not to have history of direct contact with any Ebola patient or went to any Ebola patient's burial, but do you think this true? At this point in Lagos, not less than 30 likely person who have had connection with this patient, have been picked to undergo laboratory test and a special hospital with doctors have been assigned. But is this really a good news to hear on Nigerian side. A disease that is easily transmitted by blood and fluid, direct or close contact with a positive patient. I feel Nigeria Health body should intensify the effort towards the prevention of this deadly disease. What do you think could be done to avert Ebola Outbreak in Nigeria?
