Reports say nurse, who had previously had contact with the Liberian Ebola patient Patrick Sawyer, fled quarantine in Lagos, and returned to her home in Enugu.
This risky decision, and her resulting contact with 20 other people, have put the government on high alert.
According to SaharaReporters, the Minister of Information Labaran Maku, stated this at the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting today. He said that the nurse and the 20 people she was in contact with are currently under surveillance in Enugu.
189 people are now being monitored in Nigeria. Three have died from the disease: Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American businessman who collapsed in Lagos, an attending nurse, and an ECOWAS staffer who worked with Sawyer.
