Earlier today Monday 6 Oct 2014, a spanish health minister Ana Mato made known the first ever Ebola case in Spain By a nurse assistant in spain who was known to have helped treat another Spanish Missionary who contracted the deadly Virus in West Africa. The outbreak of the Virus since discovery seems to be the largest as each day produces a new confirmed case over the world. Just like the United States of America, governments of different nations are making moves ranging from sensitising their citizens on things to do and things not to do in the case of possible outbreak to creation of Isolation centers to set aside confirmed and suspected victims. In a statement by the Gov. Of Texas ( Rick Perry ), emphasises on border checks, screening, quarantines and taking of temperatures could go a long way reducing the spread of the virus. The Ebola Virus, according to statistics emanated from West Africa and known to have claimed lifes especially in Countries like Liberia and sierralonne. The giant of Africa Nigeria wasnot left behind but proactive steps outlined by the government and it agencies help contained the diseases with No new case yet discovered. According to Dr. Tom Frieden of the Center for Disease and Control U. S ,families of suspected victims should be closely monitored for at least 21 days as that is roughly the maximum a suspected outbteak could stay. Way back in West Africa, the Ebola Virus has poised itsef an epidemic in countries like liberia claiming over 3400 lives and still growing. But does this suggest that Ebola has come to stay? |
