Barely 48 hours after the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Kola Oluwawole, described Ekiti as example to other states in the management of Lassa fever, a case of the dreaded disease has been reported in Ido Ekiti, headquarters of Ido/Osi local government area of the state.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olurotimi Ojo, who confirmed the case officially on Monday at a stakeholders’ meeting on Lassa fever in Ado Ekiti, said the patient has been isolated as doctors are battling to ensure her survival.
The victim who is a Nursing student, is currently on admission at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, FETHI, where she reportedly tested positive to the virus on Saturday.
