WHO: EBOLA RESPONSE ROADMAP UPDATE
22 September 2014

Following the roadmap structure country reports fall into two categories: those with widespread and intense transmission (Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone); and those with an initial case or cases, or with localized transmission (Nigeria, Senegal). An overview of the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where a separate, unrelated outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is occurring, is also provided (see Annex 1).

1. COUNTRIES WITH WIDESPREAD AND INTENSE TRANSMISSION

5843 (probable, confirmed and suspected; see Annex 2) cases and 2803 deaths have been reported in the current outbreak of EVD as at 20 September 2014 by the Ministry of Health of Guinea, as at 17 September 2014 by the Ministry of Health of Liberia, and as at 19 September 2014 by the Ministry of Health of Sierra Leone (table 1).
...

2. COUNTRIES WITH AN INITIAL CASE OR CASES, OR WITH LOCALIZED TRANSMISSION

Two countries, Nigeria and Senegal, have now reported a case or cases imported from a country with widespread and intense transmission. In Nigeria, there have been 20 cases and eight deaths. In Senegal, there has been one case, but as yet there have been no deaths or further suspected cases attributable to Ebola (table 2).

Contact tracing and follow-up is ongoing. In Nigeria, 696 contacts have now completed 21-day follow-up (348 contacts in Lagos, 348 contacts in Port Harcourt). Of the three contacts who are still being monitored in Lagos, all were seen on 20 September. Of the 175 contacts who are still being monitored in Port Harcourt, 165 (94%) were seen on 20 September.

Nigerians Still At Risk Of Ebola, Says Minister

Friday, 12 September 2014 22:35
Written by Chukwuma Muanya, Debo Oladimeji and Kenechukwu Ezeonyejiaku

IT is not yet Uhuru in the fight to contain the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Nigeria ? the danger is still here and Nigerians are still at risk of contracting the virus.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, gave the warning yesterday at a Requiem Mass organised for the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, the lady who gave her life to save the country from EVD, at Holy Cross Cathedral, Lagos.

?The danger of Ebola is still there. So far as there is still one person with the disease, all of us are still at risk. We cannot afford to let down our guards. As far as there is a case in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone or anywhere in the world, we are all at risk. We can play our individual roles and if we work together as global community, we can win this battle.

?The South African woman detained at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, and is presently still under quarantine at EVD facility in Lagos has tested negative for the disease. She is still being investigated for other diseases but for Ebola, laboratory result is negative,? Chukwu said.
...
He faulted Nigerians and some media houses that are creating panic in the country over the reopening of schools. Chukwu dismissed media reports that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is against the reopening of schools on September 22, 2014, over fears of Ebola outbreak.
...
?How do we honour the demise of Adadevoh? Certainly we need to work together. The WHO Representative called me this morning over media reports that the apex health body is kicking against the reopening of schools in Nigeria.

?Why we kept the schools closed was to prepare the teachers working with the rest of the states. We shall soon get the disease out of the country. We have strengthened what we are doing at our border posts,? Chukwu added.

One new suspect case here:

http://www.panapress.com/Nigeria--10th-Ebola-survivor-discharged--15-630401747-29-lang2-index.html

''The good news is that the only Ebola positive patient we had at the quarantine centre has been treated and certified free to go home. She has been discharged,'' the Commissioner said. ''We have another one patient at the centre now. She is an 18-month-old baby who has been tested and we are still waiting for the result of the test.''

Quarantined 18-month-old child tests negative to Ebola

September 10, 2014 by Chukwudi Akasike

AN 18 month-old baby, who was quarantined after being suspected to have contracted the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease has tested negative.

The Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker, who revealed this while briefing journalists in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, explained that a second test would be carried out on the child on Thursday.

Parker also disclosed that the late Doctor Iyke Enemuo?s wife currently receiving treatment at the National Treatment Centre in Lagos was recovering fast and would soon be discharged.

It will be recalled that Enemuo had died of the Ebola virus after treating a diplomat in a hotel located in Port Harcourt.

The commissioner pointed out that the state government had so far covered 510 primary and secondary contacts in its effort to contain the Ebola virus.

Re: Nigeria - Ebola: 21 cases, 8 fatalities as of September 6, 2014 (WHO Ebola Roadmap Response, September 8, 2014)

An encouraging sign is that the WHO report today:

http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/132834/1/roadmapupdate8sept14_eng.pdf

contains no new suspect cases, with a count of 19 confirmed, 1 probable, and 1 suspected, for the entire country.

Re: Nigeria - Ebola: 21 cases, 7 fatalities as of August 31, 2014 (WHO report September 04, 2014)

As Dr. Enemuo died on August 22nd, his contacts are now at least at 17 days. If no one else develops symptoms by the end of the week, Nigeria might be in the clear. - alert

From 9/3/14 http://who.int/mediacentre/news/ebol...ember-2014/en/ "Given these multiple high-risk exposure opportunities, the outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Port Harcourt has the potential to grow larger and spread faster than the one in Lagos"

Given the WHO announcement, above, so few new cases would be very surprising.

''We have another one patient at the centre now. She is an 18-month-old baby who has been tested and we are still waiting for the result of the test.''

He said the state's health authorities continued to monitor some people to know their status, even though none of them has shown any symptoms.

--------

So that's 19 confirmed (7 deaths, 11 recovered, Dr. Enemuo's wife still hospitalized in Lagos), 1 fatal probable case from Lagos from early August, and two suspect cases (one recovered in Lagos from mid-August, and now this ill baby in Rivers).

As Dr. Enemuo died on August 22nd, his contacts are now at least at 17 days. If no one else develops symptoms by the end of the week, Nigeria might be in the clear. - alert
