Ebola: 400 Placed Under Surveillance In Rivers State

400 people have been placed under surveillance in Rivers State, The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control Project Director, Dr. Abdulsalami Nasidi, has said.

According to him, the health ministry is currently monitoring about 400 people in Port Harcourt, for signs of the disease after they came in contact with the Port Harcourt doctor who secretly treated the diplomat who had contracted Ebola in a Port Harcourt hotel.

The doctor, who died on the 22^nd of August, 2014 exposed his wife (who has now tested positive) and many others, including his doctor friends who treated him when he fell ill, by not telling them he had been exposed to the deadly virus.

"Everything about this doctor was in secrecy; he violated our public health laws by treating a patient with a highly pathogenic agent who revealed to him that he had contact with Ebola and didn't want to be treated in Lagos because he might be put in isolation.

"He treated him in secrecy outside hospital premises. When he became ill he did not reveal to his colleagues that he had contact with someone who contracted Ebola. He was taken to General Hospital, a private hospital that sees everybody.

"That is the only case that effectively escaped our surveillance network. We are paying now for it," Dr. Abdulsalami Nasidi said.

His father was short and fat and very tricky. He had a reputation for cheating people. He was also a money lender who demanded very high interest. Bawa was a replica of his father in every way, in appearance and character except that Bawa was more considerate. He could take pity on others itcr hoodwinking them. Garba did not like him much "Really?" Sule asked. "I hope it will be all right if I go with you." "You don't have to," Bawa said. "You know if he takes more than expected, the master would know he took his milk." "It's not bad if we shared whatever Yakubu gives us with our fellows," Tanko said. "Garba can even get from it," Sule said. Bawa made a face. "Look at you, Sule, you have......
