A doctor, a pharmacist and another person, who had primary contact with the late Dr. Ikechukwu Sam Enemuo, the first Ebola victim in Rivers State, have been quarantined after showing symptoms of the virus. The results of their tests are however still being awaited.



The late doctor Emenuo’s widow, who has tested positive to the virus is receiving treatment in Lagos.

Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker stated this on Sunday in an update on the outbreak of Ebola in Port Harcourt.

Dr. Enemuo contracted the virus and died on August 22 in Port Harcourt. He became the sixth Nigerian to die of the virus after secretly treating a Nigerian official of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Mr. Oluibukun Koye in a hotel in Port Harcourt.
