A woman has been quarantined at a hospital in Hong Kong after falling ill with Ebola-like symptoms when she returned from a trip to Africa.
The patient, who is said to be exhibiting symptoms similar to the deadly virus, is undergoing tests to verify the cause of her illness, local media reported.
It comes as Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond today declared the disease a 'very serious threat' to Britain as he prepares to chair an emergency meeting on how to bolster the country's defences against the vicious virus.
British airlines are on alert for cases of the deadly virus, after tests revealed a man died in Nigeria from the disease, having been allowed to board an international flight from Liberia.
A British man has also been tested for the Ebola virus, putting doctors on red alert that it could be on its way to the UK.
A spokesman for Hong Kong's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, said the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) will be notified if it is confirmed the patient is suffering from the Ebola virus.culled
In Nigeria health officials said today,they are in the process of tracing 30,000 people at risk of contracting the disease after coming into contact with a Liberian man who died on Friday.
Meanwhile, the British man was taken to hospital in Birmingham after complaining of feeling ‘feverish’ on a flight back to the Midlands from West Africa.

ReplyDeleteThis virus must have been cooked up by some curious scientist, somewhere in abroad, left abandoned on a shelf and it erupted like a volcano...
ReplyDeleteor maybe some ignorant person stole it frm some shelf, just out of curiosity and look where it has landed us...
dunno for sure but that's just my Hollywood mind giving me possible ideas tho....
Somewhere in abroad. How daft can someone be, yet they will be claiming posh
DeleteSwerve, its contracted thru infected bats, apes, chimpanzees bush meat and all that. Broaden your knowledege sister or brother
Deletein abroad ke? swerve, now u need to swerve with your English. Auto correct again? Naaa its not. lol
Deletena una sabi oooo
DeleteLmao!!
Spare swerve,an average Igbo girl has problem with proper usage of preposition just like yorubas with gender pronouns. A friend of mine had tough time teaching english during service year.
DeleteY'all are fools replying swerve like that. You don't know nothing and you here faulting a "make-sense" comment. Lemme give y'all ignorant ***** some clue, google stuff like "ebola cia" , cancer cia" , "committee of 300" ..... Then,come back here,apologise to swerve, thank me and shut up if you don't have anything intelligent to say(its not a must to comment on blog posts anyways). #there's more to all these woes than meets the eyes. Get Jesus and your safety is guaranteed.
DeleteGod bless u Apocalypse, most of these viruses are experiments gone wrong. Most times, they use animals to test these things and shit just happens frm there....
Deletebut them mofos commenting won't watch movies, read papers, or read blogs and learn. They stay insulting people cos their brains are porous it can't hold any info.
You welcome jare swerve. Don't mind them,shallow minded fellows. Guess they got some personal "beef" for you or something,cos I wonder why they went all out for you like that. Its my first time on here though. I just don't like to see people put sentiments ahead of logic. Take care swerve, you sound well informed/read.

ReplyDelete@ July 30, 2014 at 2:44 PM: Bush meat that "they have been sharing in Africa" for centuries abi?
ReplyDeleteListening to my colleagues complain about the population of the world, how will the growing population be fed and watered (as if nah dem dey give the food and nah their water people dey drink) has made me worried about our refusing-to-mature continent.
@ Anonymous 4:00 it is possible for 30,000 people to be exposed now because the passengers and the hospital staff would have had contact with other people e.g family members, People at the bus stops, public transports, public toilets,Banks etc. All the people in that plane and the hospital staff should have been quarantined if we were a serious country. But then again we like medicine after death. May God help us to stem this evil virus.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should be afraid, be very afraid!
ReplyDeleteWhich 30k. People..... Naijas no get Ebola!
ReplyDeletePls my own b say how we go prevent this and treat it self before d whole world finishes. Is this a way God wan take punish human race
