Second Lagos nurse tests positive for Ebola

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said on Monday that another Lagos nurse has tested positive to the Ebola Virus Disease.
The development came 22 days after the first first case of the virus was recorded.
The minister explained that the newly married nurse was among those that had direct contact with the late Liberian man, Patrick Sawyer, who imported the disease to Nigeria.
Chukwu also added that the husband of the nurse was also among the 177 people who had now been placed under surveillance.
