Three fresh cases of Ebola have been
discovered as 4 patients were yesterday discharged from the isolation centre of
the Mainland Hospital in Lagos.
This was disclosed by the Lagos State Health
Commissioner, Dr. Jide Idris, who said: “As at Sunday, we had three new suspected
cases. One of them is a blood sample from Kaduna State, while the two others
are from Lagos and they are primary contacts. A reason for this was that they
do not have the laboratory to test for the virus.
What we have now is
that, there are four people dead, including the index (Mr. Patrick Sawyer). We
have eight in the isolation ward before Saturday when we released the doctor,
and this doctor was released after testing negative and going through the World
Health Organisation, WHO and Centre for Disease Control, CDC, procedures for
discharge.”
