Update on the Ebola Virus case in Lagos

Briefing newsmen today, Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Public Health, Dr Yewande Adeshina said the Liberian man being tested for the Ebola Virus is currently at a private hospital in Obalende, Lagos. She said the man has been isolated and the hospital vicinity cordoned off and that 30 other people are also being tested for possible contact with the deadly virus.

Dr Adeshina warned residents to;
“keep personal and environmental hygiene” and urged those who notice “strange feeling or symptoms similar to those of Ebola virus, which ranges from fever, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sore throat and joint pains, which are all symptoms of other ailments, to visit competent health facilities”.
In the absence of such facilities, she said residents should call the following numbers - 08023169485, 08033086660, 08033065303, 08055281442, 08055329229.

  24. There had better not be an outbreak in Naija. Cos between the density in places like Lagos and the (poverty-induced?) lack of hygiene that goes with it, the disease would wipe out millions!

  61. This spells trouble..i'm really worried about this,with our poor health system,this could be bad..i hope not,things can spread easily in Nigeria,and rather than head straight for medical check up,most will head to a pastor who will tell them it's a form of spiritual attack..just fast and pray..i am really worried about this.

  68. If this is true, it means that our immigration and airport health officials are dumb. with the knowledge of Liberia being a country infected with this virus, shouldn't a sanction be in place for emigrants from Liberia and other affected countries into Nigeria? shouldn't there be a medical requirement for this emigrants b4 entering our borders? i hate this country i swear. we neva get things right!!!

  72. The more reason u guys need to be born again. A new creature in CHRIST is not subjected to sickness or any diseases. Read psalm 91. Dear LIB readers dis earth is reaching its expire date, dats why dis things are happening( human and natural disaster). This is wen we need to be closer to God more, the devil is at work seriously. Study matthew 24, and u will not be so surprise wen u hear of war,rumors of war,terrible diseases,nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom. The bible even said that this is the beginning of sorrow, meaning that more things might likely show up. This world no make sense anymore, let's get ready for the life of Glory were all these things will be no more. If you are not yet born again (romans 10:9,10). Just do this: say oh GOD,I come to You today, I know am a sinner, and JESUS died for me. Today,with my mouth I confess JESUS as my LORD and Savior ,and i ask HIM to come into my life, I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead,I receive eternal life into my spirit,I am born again. if u say dis with all ur heart u are saved. Then pray and study ur bible always and ask God to revel HIMSELF to you. Also ask God for the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT. If u are not yet attending church look for a good one to attend. Or if u like to join us in Believers love world aka Christ Embassy Church. We give ur life a meaning.

  75. Please they should observe everyone the guy got in contact with, especially on the plane. His seat partners, air hostesses, immigration officers that scanned him at the airport, even the airport workers that offload the planes cos of contact with his luggage. These people should be tested too as the virus is transmitted via sweat, saliva etc
