A doctor who attended to late Patrick Sawyer at the First
Consultant Hospital has been confirmed positive with the Ebola virus.
Speaking at a news conference today, the Nigerian Minister of Health,
Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu said the doctor is currently undergoing treatment
at the quarantine centre in Lagos.
Prof Onyebuchi revealed that some of the 169 secondary contacts of Sawyer were no longer under surveillance and had been released, having completed the 21 days of incubation period.

The Minister also said the nurse who had escaped the quarantine center
in Lagos and traveled to Enugu state has been returned back to Lagos
with her husband in a special traveling ambulance.
'In Enugu yesterday, there were 21 secondary contacts with the nurse. But after investigations, there are only 6 secondary contacts now. The nurse who is newly wedded had no symptoms of the disease when she traveled to Enugu. She was transported back to Lagos in a special ambulance with her husband. Her husband is under quarantine now” the minister said
That nurse no try at all

Pls d govt should take cogent measure to avoid dis doctor been loosed to EBOLA .
DeleteI get his concern, but also none of us are in their shoes. Let's bear that in mine. I Don't think anyone wants to lay in the quarantine center alone knowing they might die without seeing their family or friends. It's a sad situation all through. Really is. As it's not their fault they gt this. They gave up their lives to help one stupid man. SERIOUSLY, LIBERIA HAS TO PAY. They can pick a scape goat if they want. But young Nigerian lives are at stake here. Too unfair.

DeleteEeya...I pray he survives.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what d husband was thinking when he helped his wife escape. He's now quarantined too. He shld have convinced his wife to wait d mandatory 21 days smh.
ReplyDeleteIt is well..with all ebola new! 80% of the day's new is about this deadly thing! God is in charge. Psalm 46:1. BishopDammy#

Hian! Can't u read ni? To think that the answer to ur question is right under your nose (as in, in the article). Let me quote that part for u, '...the nurse who is newly wedded had no symptoms of the disease when she traveled to Enugu...'. In case u don't understand this, it means that the virus was in a stage where it wasn't contagious when she left for Enugu. Smh for some people who just rush to comment on a post without reading or comprehending the article fully.
DeleteR u sure u can read???
DeleteThank God now I can chop the chicken I bought from kfc 3days ago
ReplyDeleteLol!! Better wait for 21 days

ReplyDeleteSee Owerri Girls Go Crazy Dancing Nu.de At A Swimming Pool Party![pic/video]
Those who have completed 21days which is the maximum incubation period for ebola disease ought to hav been released
DeleteU r trying 2 hard retard!!!
DeleteThese people are really doing a good work here... For once, i see a sense of responsibility from our government. Kudos!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!
DeleteEbola will clean up Nigeria, men n women ll become faithful , people ll become better behaved, no more pushing n shoving at parks
DeleteIf d govt do not have a sense of responsibility on dis ebola virus don't you think its their loss... Cos who will come out to vote come 2015.. Or won't dey be affected too.. I pray dis thing go back to d abyss where it came from as soon as possible for the betterment of us all
DeleteBecause the ebola is no respected of persons or status. If they don't act,they will as well be infected. I guess that's why they are taking it very serious
DeleteGreat news
ReplyDeleteBut why did she even think leaving in d first place. Na wao!
ReplyDeleteWatin carry her go enugu sef? ☹
ReplyDeleteThat nurse is a fool,she has endangered the life of her husband.
ReplyDeleteFace of lib
GOVERNMENT PLEASE IMPROVE THE QUALITY of the CENTERS. SEPARATE patients as well as suspects distinctively
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteTrue! I hope they are not keeping the confirmed cases in the same place as suspected cases??
DeleteDummy. Isolation ward (positive Ebola Victims) is different from the quarantined ward (mandatory 21 days incubation watch)
DeleteEven confirmed cases should be seperated, like aren't there levels to this shit?
DeleteIf this is how the whole thing is really going on...Nigerian is handling this thing very well then! No outside cases except for people that had contact with sawyer!
ReplyDeleteWe must commend d efforts of our government in respect to their response to the impending epidermic. If they respond to other issues like this, we'll have a better nigeria. How many docs n nurses even attended to dis demon patrick. They were too many na!
ReplyDelete# I HATE PATRICK SAWYER…Dear all, if your love one is infected don't help them escape please.
ReplyDeleteLindodo...Alu meee! Chai! Why did she leave in the first place? Now Only God will save us from this dangerous virus...

God help us.
ReplyDeleteThe truth remains the d world is coming 2 an end, I believe that this is how God wants to end this generation.. I pray that nurse will finally test negative.. Is nt gud 2 be selfish no mata the condition u find ur sef in.
ReplyDeleteHow did she get to Enugu? Didn't she enter a garage and take public transport? A lot of unsuspecting travellers don't even know they're now at risk.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when we refuse to behave responsibly.
Our news agency are not helping out,have seen on CNN reporters well suited up, then go in to the quarantine area to interview patient, if will have this in Nigeria, I Belive The patients would be treated well and we would not have cases of patients escaping
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean dat no test canbe done to ascertain if a person it's positive or not dat dere ve to jus stay out 21 days an if no symptoms released? Also can someone tell me how long or if dis virus survives outside d body?
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly did this Patrick Sawyer do to the doctors and nurses who cared for him? Because they took precaution yet all of them are still infected. He must have been really out to infect everyone. They should stop portraying him as a good person because it takes a special kind of heartlessness to do what he did.
ReplyDeleteSOME, not all 169 people. Relax guys.
ReplyDeleteGOD help us all. Hope they become okay
ReplyDeleteChei
ReplyDeleteDis is scary
May be d nurse wants to die wit d hubby
Aunty nurse why na! there si God oooooooooo
ReplyDeleteThe woman needs to chop koboko as she is entering Lagos.
ReplyDeleteNow she has managed to Koba her husband too. I just hope they both test negative.
AMEN!
People should read about and get to know all about Ebola, expecially here in 9ja. The nurse was not sick so except she slept with her hus, he doesn't have it. Yes she's not right to have escaped from quarantine but we all know it's not that simple to stay away from your loved ones. Let's not crucify her for that, blame it on the security. The good news is she's back n all I advice 9ja is: be more enlightened about Ebola than be afraid.
ReplyDeleteThe headline of this story does not have any meaning at all. Linda kindly proofread before posting. Nice job though
ReplyDeleteI tot I was d only one dt noticed. Y merge both stories together?
DeleteEhya... I feel so much for all dis medical practisionals. They ar d ones bin exposed directly to dis virus. May God alwys protect dem
ReplyDeletemore victims daily!!!
ReplyDeleteNa new wife na, she dey miss her hubby..
ReplyDeleteC.E.O
why did she mean by escaping.
ReplyDeleteGOD WILL HELP US
ReplyDeleteshe just want to kill her husband wicked woman
ReplyDeleteGud to know that the nurse is back. Praying for quick recovery fot the doctor. Oh Lord our eyez on U. Be our Zmapp
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy. Thumbs up to the federal govt though.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible the nurse traveled by personal or private transport. So no fear
ReplyDeleteNo wonder GOD HATES AFRICA. Indeed we have no heart, no empathy, no feelings, no love for our neighbour, we are worse than animals, no body want to die, but all believe heaven is guaranteed for them.
ReplyDeleteIt is not their fault they caught Ebola, they are health workers who were tending to the sick during a strike and caught the virus, it was no fault of theirs. Now they have become fugitives.
Guys think for a minute, if this was you, is this how you wud like to be treated? Gosh I weep for every vile mouthed commenter on this post. SMH
I don't support her decision but i can understand it was a difficult time for her, all we need now is for God to intervene bcos clearly apportioning blames would not end this epidemic. matil4real2000@yahoo.com.au
ReplyDeleteTher were 21 secondary contact with the nurse; after investigation they are now 6.. HOW COME NOW Oga Minister less than d required 21 days?
ReplyDeleteLook, i believe that it was a deliberate intention to infect Nigerians with Ebola Virus. I have been watching CNN for many years and have not hard of Ebola until it came to Nigeria, How come? Why is no one asking Question? Why did the so called Liberia man flew into Nigeria Knowing he had the Virus, Do you Think the doctors and Nurses who treated him will? if they Knew what Ebola is and how Deadly it is? Fuck Liberians and Fuck Nigeria Governments.

ReplyDeleteAunty nurse u no try at all, now ur husband is a suspect, guess u r happy.. I pray for the doctor o jare..
ReplyDeletequeenreigneth@gmail.com
Mumu nurse you want to kill us that are down here
ReplyDeleteAny Nigerian that gets to heaven first should please locate Patrick Sawyer, drag him out from the cue and give him two dirty slaps before reporting him to the nearest angel!
ReplyDeleteThat nurse is very wicked.. How could she be this wicked by spread the disease in Enugu. 32D66B72
ReplyDeleteKudos to the Ministry of Health. You guys are trying under the prevailing circumstances. Let pray and support their efforts
ReplyDeleteI believe Ebola will soon become History like SARS,Avian/Birdflu and co. in Nigeria... Relax God is in control peepz! #Proff
ReplyDeleteEyaaaa sad one for the doctor,i pray a solution is proffered. As for the nurse,ts good she is back,am sure she was scared,ts not so good a situation to be.
ReplyDeleteI have a question pls. Supposing a person has sex with his/her spouse who is an ebola carrier (but haven't started showing symptoms) can the spouse contract the disease?
