Update: Nigeria Now Has Only One Ebola Case

Nigeria has successfully reduced the number of Ebola cases in the
country to one.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu  who gave  an update on the
disease in Abuja told journalists that "today is the 30th day since
the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was imported into Nigeria by a Liberian
- American.  As of today   Nigeria has had thirteen cases of EVD
including the index case."


"However,  seven of the infected persons were successfully managed at
the isolation ward in Lagos and have been discharged home."


"Two of the treated patients,  a male doctor and a female nurse were
discharged   Monday evening, having satisfied the criteria for
discharge."


"As I speak with you, Nigeria has only one confirmed case of EVD,  a
secondary contact of Mr Patrick Sawyer's and spouse of one of the
physicians who participated in the management of the index case.
She is stable but still on treatment at the isolation ward in Lagos,"
the minister said.
