1. NIGERIA RECORDS NEW EBOLA DEATH
IN PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS STATE
The diplomat, who was part of the team who met with Patrick
Sawyer in Lagos, flew to Port Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, evading
surveillance for the disease. The doctor, who secretly treated a diplomat who
had contact with the index case, Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, has died of
Ebola in Nigeria.
The
doctor, who has yet to be named, died on Friday. His wife has also taken ill
and has been quarantined in Port Harcourt. Interestingly, the diplomat the
doctor treated is still alive.
As a result of this, 70 people have been quarantined. The
doctor's hospital, Good Heart Hospital in Rivers State, has been shut down. The
unnamed hotel, where the secret treatment took place, has also been shut down.
The Minister of Health and the Rivers State government are
expected to make a statement on the incident tomorrow.
