Dr. Akindele Akintayo, the Senior Registrar of the National Orthopedic Hospital Igbobi has disclosed that apart from the Liberian-American, late Patrick Sawyer, who spread the dreaded virus Ebola, there is another Liberian presently receiving treatment in Nigeria for the same reason.
He disclosed this while responding to questions this morning on Channels Television program, Sunrise Daily.
He said “You need to know that there is another liberian patient under observation that is being treated for Ebola in an Infectious Disease Hospital Lagos.
“Am not very sure if he is a new case or had contact with Patrick Sawyer,” he explained.
He called for awareness in communities to make sure that the virus would not spread to other parts of the states.
He also said that infected dead victims should be cremated to avoid the transmission of the virus, saying that even the dead can transmit Ebola.
According to report, a lot of people contacted the virus during burials in Liberia, just like Late Patrick Sawyer who contracted the virus during his late sister’s burial.
HE also warned that people discharged of Ebola should be monitored, and still be giving care as they can still transmit the virus to anyone they go in contact with.
