Rivers state government has announced that the widow of Dr. Iky Sam Enemua, the medical doctor who died of Ebola in Port Harcourt after treating an ECOWAS official infected by the virus, has been moved to Lagos. Her three-month-old baby is also one of the 160 people under surveillance in Port Harcourt.
Also under observation is a patient on whom the late medical doctor performed surgery shortly before he fell ill and 157 others who had direct contact with him.
Most of the contacts were patients he attended to in his Samsteel Clinic at Rumuokoro, Port Harcourt.
The rest are the doctor and other medical personnel who treated him at Greenhart Hospital, also in Port Harcourt, Health Commissioner Sampson Parker disclosed.
Dr. Enemua was infected and later died after treating in a hotel, a Nigerian diplomat, Oluibukun Koye, who was among the group that received the late Patrick Sawyer, the Nigerian index case in Lagos.
