Nigeria has recorded another Ebola case, the Minister of
Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, said Monday.
Chukwu said the new case is the fiancé of one of the primary contacts of the
index case, Patrick Sawyer.
Sawyer is the Liberian-American who brought the virus to
Nigeria late July.
Chukwu said the primary contact had, however, made a fully
recovery.
The new case brings the total number of Ebola cases in Nigeria to 19
with seven people dead from the disease while 10 others have recovered,
the minister said.
He also noted that the sister of the Port Harcourt doctor,
Ikechukwu Enemuo, who treated one of Sawyer’s primary contact in a hotel
secretly, has fully recovered and been discharged.
