Nigeria on Guard, As Ebola Spread Increases in Liberia

World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed that thousands of new Ebola cases are expected this month in Liberia, where the deadly disease is spreading exponentially and has already killed over 1,000 people.



"Transmission of the Ebola virus in Liberia is already intense and the number of new cases is increasing exponentially.  Many thousands of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming 3 weeks," the WHO said in a statement on Monday.

However, experience has shown that Nigeria might not be totally free from this outbreak, as Liberians can troop in here. It was revealed that Nigeria should expect influx of Liberians seeking medical help in the country. We still need to exercise caution, guard and protect ourselves here.
