The Lagos State Government revealed on Tuesday, 19th
August that it has received additional five new suspected cases of Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD).
According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, two of
the fresh suspected cases are secondary contacts while the remaining three are
primary contacts with late Patrick Sawyer.
The new suspected cases have increased the number of patients
in isolation wards from two to six.
“Till date, we have recorded eight suspected cases, five of
which were brought in yesterday. We have 12 confirmed cases on the whole out of
which five have died and five have been discharged. We are currently following
up on 213 contacts while 62 have completed the 21-day follow-up.”, the Minister
said.
And here I was thinking the number was reducing and that
Lagos had this under control! It is well.
Please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxox
