Ebola: Corp Members Abandon Sick Colleague In Ekiti

Corps members at the orientation camp at Ise/Emure Ekiti, deserted their colleague who slumped on Friday for fear he was infected with the deadly Ebola virus.
This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Health, Prof. Olusola Fasuba who spoke at an awareness forum in Ado-Ekiti, following speculations in the state that Ebola virus had hit some towns, PM News reports.

Olusola dispelled rumours that the youth corps member had contracted Ebola, saying he was only suffering of chronic fever.
According to him, when he got report of the incident, he quickly swung into action, making sure the sick boy received immediate attention from a team of health workers. A sample of his blood was also sent to Lagos and the results came out negative to Ebola virus.
He said: “The corps member has been taken away from the camp and is currently being kept at our isolated centre located within Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti. As I speak, I assure residents that the health of the boy in question is already improving, while he continues to show signs of good health far from Ebola.”
