Lagos upbeat at strategies to contain Ebola spread

The Lagos State Governor,
Babatunde Fashola, has assured locals
of his administration's resolve to
contain the spread of the Ebola virus.

In a state-wide broadcast, Fashola said
the resolve was based on the courage
so far shown by the first set of health
workers at the State and Federal levels
as well as the leadership of the State
and Federal Ministries of Health with
the support of the Government’s
international partners.

Reports that emanate daily from the
isolation wards about those who are
receiving treatment and those under
surveillance pointing out that while 61
persons who have been under
observation in the last 21 days had
been discharged, and a report that a
confirmed victim of the disease had
fully recovered, encouraged him.
