One of the suspects who was just brought was initially set free after being tested negative,he was among the people present in the airport on the day Sawyer came in.
So far, eight suspected cases have been recorded which includes the five that was just brought yesterday, 12 confirmed cases, 5 deaths, 5 discharged, 213 monitored out of which 61 of them will soon complete their 21-day follow-up.
Yesterday, Nigeria lost a Senior consultant,Dr Ameyo who was one of the doctors that attended to Sawyer in the hospital. Patrick wanted to run away but this woman never allowed him. She sacrificed her life for her family and other Nigerian citizen. May she be remembered forever.
Nigeria must have started the usage of Ebola treatment now, Zmapp, and she is still awaiting other local therapy for approval. Long Lived The World...
