There was
panic at the Ekiti orientation camp as a corps member slumped at the
orientation camp.
His colleague
took for cover as they left him there on the floor
The Ekiti
State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Olusola Fasuba however, allayed their
fears when he said the corps member was only suffering from chronic fever.
“Although,
information reaching my office from the ministry of youth and sports confirmed
that a particular male corps member collapsed at the orientation camp.
“But, it was
unfortunate that people around him ran away taking his sickness for the dreaded
Ebola virus.
“Immediately
I received the information, I swung into action by ensuring that the sick boy
was immediately attended to by a team of health workers. They later discovered
that he was suffering from chronic fever, the information they passed to me
without wasting time.
“But, I did
not stop at that, at least to be sure of his correct state of health, his blood
samples were taken and sent to Lagos. We received the results on Thursday
indicating that he tested negative to the Ebola virus.
“The corps
member has been taken away from the camp and is currently being kept at our
isolated centre located within Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti.
“As I speak,
I assure residents that the health of the boy in question is already improving,
while he continues to show signs of good health far from Ebola,” he explained,”
the commissioner explained.
