The second nurse who made contact with Late Patrick Sawyer has escaped quarantine in Lagos and made contact with 20 people in Enugu, putting the nation on high alert and fear.
After the Federal Executive Council meeting, the Minister of Information Labaran Maku told correspondents in the State House that the affected nurse had primary contact with the late Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, who brought the deadly disease to Nigeria.
According to the minister, the nurse traveled from Lagos to Enugu against instruction not to leave Lagos State, adding that 198 persons are currently under watch by the Ministry of Health to prevent further spread of the disease.
Labaran Maku explained that out of the 198 persons under surveillance , 177 of them are in Lagos while 21 are in Enugu.
“All those who had primary contact have been quarantined. Secondary contacts have also been traced. So far the number of people that have been traced is 198. Out of this number, 177 are in Lagos and are being traced. Some are in quarantine, some are being monitored by health specialists.”
