Fear of fresh cases of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, yesterday, gripped residents of Lagos and Kaduna, following news of the death of a suspected Ebola patient at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi- Araba, just as a 19-year-old student of Law at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, was allegedly diagnosed with the Ebola virus in Kaduna.
However, tests carried out on the 19-year-old law student of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, indicate that he has tested negative for Ebola.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Thot Dogo, while confirming the suspected Ebola case due to symptoms exhibited by the student, had added that the blood sample of the patient was taken to a laboratory in Lagos for tests and the result expected today.
