The
Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris has announced
that the State has instigated a search for those on the same flight
from Togo to Lagos with Liberia's Patrick Sawyer, who died last
Friday in Lagos of Ebola virus.
The
commissioner is saying that, this is mandatory in order to prevent
the spread of the deadly virus in the state.
''We
are going to trace all of them, each one of them is going to be
questioned. There is a protocol they will follow in terms of
questioning. They are going to be monitored in the next 21 days to
see if any of them has the symptoms.'' Idris said.
..........
Doesn't that flight has a Passenger Manifest? I pray they are all well. The disease only becomes contagious when symptoms begins to appear and it's not spread over the air but via body fluid and body contact at this stage. So there is a strong likelihood none of them is infected. But they all have to be checked to be sure.
