A nurse who came in contact with the late Liberian-American Ebola patient Patrick Sawyer has fled from quarantine in Lagos. She returned to her home in Enugu. According to Sahara Reporters, she has since come in contact with 20 other people.
The Minister of Information Labaran Maku revealed that the nurse and the 20 people are currently under surveillance. As a result of her decision, 189 people are now being monitored in Nigeria. Speaking at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting today, he said that the nurse and the 20 people she was in contact with are currently under surveillance in Enugu.
“All those who she was in contact with, including her husband, are under quarantine. The medical team has been able to trace all those who made contact with her,"
Three have died from the disease: Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American businessman who collapsed in Lagos, an attending nurse, and an ECOWAS staffer who worked with Sawyer. I hope she's happy that she may have likely infected her husband, family and friends with it.
