collaborating with the World Health Organization, WHO, the private
hospital and the family of the patient to ensure that the processes of
decontamination and contact are effectively carried out.
The Rivers State Commissioner for Health advised people in the
state not to panic as according to him, the state ministry of health is
on top of the situation.
The Commissioner advised people to report all cases of persistent high fever and bleeding to the nearest health facility.
Odagme said, “We had a case of Lassa Fever that has been
managed by our experts. The incident was discovered in a Private
Hospital here in Port Harcourt.
” The victim showed serious signs of Lassa so we conducted a test and confirmed he was infected.
“We have identified the primary and secondary contacts and we are following them up. We have also identified them.
“If there is need, we will transfer any identifiable patient to our emergency centre at Oduoha in Emohua.
“Our message remains constant. People should not expose their
consumables to rats or rodents. We don’t want these incidents that is
