| Officials screening passengers at the Airport |
A South African female passenger suspected of showing
symptoms of the Ebola Virus Disease on arrival at the Murtala Muhammed Airport,
Lagos yesterday, has been quarantined at the isolation ward in Lagos.
Folswe Elizabeth Maria, on board Royal Air Maroc, from
Morocco was on transit and was said to have taken ill at the transit area of
the airport after using the toilet. The case was immediately reported to
officials of the Port Health Services who used the Infra-red Thermometre to
test her and discovered that she had high temperature. The passenger was later
taken to an isolation centre and kept under observation by Port Health
officials.
