BREAKING: Nigeria records new Ebola cases
George Ogala - 1 min ago
Nigeria has recorded two new Ebola cases, the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, announced Friday.
Mr. Chukwu said the new cases are spouses of the primary contacts of the index case, Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American who brought the virus to Nigeria.
He said the new cases are the first secondary contacts to test positive to the deadly virus that has killed five people in Nigeria.
The secondary contacts had been under surveillance since the outbreak of the disease in Nigeria, Mr. Chukwu added.
Details later…
How incredibly sad for them.
Sawyer really was a one man WMD.
Irish case has tested negative.
His immediate family, who cared for him, can rest much easier now and get on with the mourning.
He was awfully young and left a little kid besides. At least the new article mentioned his company having pulled employees due to the risk in Sierra Leone and not that he was ‘home on holiday’.
Crap...not unexpected, but I had hoped this would not be the case. Now the question is of tertiary infections...and so forth.
