A doctor who attended to late Patrick Sawyer at the First Consultant Hospital has been confirmed positive with the Ebola virus. Speaking at a news conference today, the Nigerian Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu said the physician happens to be undergoing treatment at the quarantine centre in Lagos.
Prof Onyebuchi revealed that a few of the 169 secondary contacts of Sawyer were no further under surveillance and have been released, having completed the 21 days of incubation period. The Minister also said the nurse who'd escaped the quarantine center in Lagos and traveled to Enugu state has been returned back once again to Lagos with her husband in a special traveling ambulance.
