Nigerian Soldier Tests Positive to Ebola in Liberia


State of emergency in three states of Nigeria
According to a report by Associated Press, a Nigerian soldier on the United Nations’ peace mission in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola.

According to the reports, he is expected to be flown to the Netherlands for treatment, a Dutch Health Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday and would be transferred by ambulance to nearby Utrecht, the AP says.
The mission has so far identified 16 people who came into contact with the soldier, and they have been quarantined, she said. Areas the peacekeeper visited while symptomatic have been decontaminated.
The man will be the first Ebola patient hospitalized in the Netherlands. He is being treated in a Dutch hospital at the request of the World Health Organization, Freriksen said.
