(LAGOS)
Lagos has eight suspected cases of Ebola, all in people who came into
contact with Nigeria’s first victim who died last month, the health
commissioner said on Tuesday, with one case confirmed.
Authorities have been monitoring anyone who came into close contact
with Patrick Sawyer, a Liberia and U.S. citizen who died of Ebola in
Lagos last month shortly after arriving at the airport. The second
confirmed case was a doctor who looked after him.
Health Commissioner Jide Idris also said a further six people who had
made contact with Sawyer had been quarantined but were not showing
symptoms.
