3 SEPTEMBER 2014
The wife of one of the officers of the Police Support Unit (PSU) residing at the Barracks on Horton Avenue, Camp Johnson Road has reportedly died from the deadly Ebola virus.
According to sources, the lady (name withheld) has been showing Ebola symptoms for nearly a week until she left the Police Barracks last week to see her mother apparently for care.
She is said to have died at the home of her mother about two days ago. When the contact tracing team got the news that the woman was living at the Police Barracks with her lover, they reached a decision to quarantine block "C" building of the police barracks where she was residing.
The Block "C" building is currently quarantined as officers residing therein remain trapped inside until a period of 21 days. The barracks contain three buildings.
The officer whose wife died from Ebola was recently on assignment at the Headquarters of the LNP. It is not known whether the entire headquarters will be quarantined as civilian staffers and police officers who interacted with the PSU officer whose wife died, are said to be worried.
Our reporter who visited the Barracks Monday saw police officers preventing their colleagues and families from leaving the building as water barrels were taken in the compound for the quarantined officers.
