Anambra Govt Seals Hospital Over Ebola Scare
Category: Health & Physical Fitness
A hospital has been sealed off and its workers and patients quarantined due to an Ebola disease scare in Anambra State today.

“Part of the briefing is to tell you what we are doing to make sure we don’t allow the deadly virus to come into the state. What actually called for this is that we have a report that a corpse was brought through Lagos and the deceased was said to have been taken from Liberia where of course you know there are cases of the disease.
The corpse was said to have been brought to Nigeria and deposited somewhere in Nkwelle-Ezunaka and
the ministry was alerted and that is why we are taking all these measures.”
The commissioner said that Governor Willie Obiano had already directed the Police Command in the state to cordon off the place until the necessary tests were carried out. He further said that Federal Government had also sent medical experts from the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, to Anambra to carry out the test at the hospital premises.
