EBOLA IN PORT-HARCOURT

Just after the Federal government came out with a statement that the spread of the Ebola virus Disease has been contained, a new case of Ebola was reported

In Port-harcourt the capital city of Rivers state, reports have it that a doctor who treated one of the diplomats who met with Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian -American who brought the disease into the country, died from a suspected case of Ebola Virus Disease.

The said diplomat having refused to turn himself, requested the deceased doctor to treat him in his hotel room. The deceased doctor's hospital "Good heart hospital" and the hotel the diplomat stayed have since been closed. The doctor's wife is being treated with Ebola-like symptoms. All who made contact with the diplomat and the doctor have been tracked down and quarantined.

This development could potentially count as a huge blow in Nigeria's fight to contain the spread of the disease.
