Two fresh EBOLA cases confirmed in Lagos
« on: August 09, 2014, 12:21:54 AM »

The federal goverment,Friday, has said that two new cases of Ebola infection have been confirmed in Lagos.


This brings to seven new cases of Ebola in Lagos and a second death from the virus.

Also, the federal government warned against bathing with salt water being circulated via SMSs and the social media as a cure for Ebola, saying it will prosecute individuals who spread such false information.

A statement signed by the Minister’s Chief Press Secretary, Joseph Mutah, said the speculation that salt and hot water solution cures the deadly viral disease is only a rumour.

Mr. Maku said there was no cure yet for the disease yet. He urged Nigerians to, however, maintain maximum environmental and personal hygiene to guard against contracting the deadly virus.

 The social media late Thursday and early Friday went agog with information that salt and water could prevent infection by Ebola Virus. Relatives from all parts of Nigeria called loved ones to take their bath with the new found solution to the disease.

There is no cure for the deadly virus yet
