An unidentified six months old pregnant woman has been diagnosed with the Ebola Virus Disease.
The woman reportedly got infected after being checked by Obi Justina Ejelonu, one of the nurses who had primary contact with the late Liberian Patrick Sawyer, at The First Consultant Hospital in Obalende area of Lagos where she went for antenatal checkup, the same hospital Mr. Sawyer was admitted.
The pregnant woman has been moved to the Isolation centres where suspected people are being quarantined behind Mainland hospital in Yaba Lagos.
The First Consultant Hospital has been shut down by the government since the incidence of Mr. Patrick Sawyer to avoid further spread to susceptible patients. Search is still being made to trace the other people who were at the hospital at the moment Mr. Sawyer was there, and had probably had contact with him. This calls for more cautiousness on the part of Nigerians, to be on the watch for any suspicious person who may be showing similar signs and symptoms, and to also take necessary precautions.
