The state’s Commissioner for Health, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegeshin, told The Nation that contrary to rumours that some patients in state and private hospitals have contracted the disease, said the four patients who showed symptoms of the EVD have tested negative to the virus.
The state’s Epidemiologist, Dr. Gbolahan Abass, corroborated Gbadegeshin’s view, saying the four have been cleared of the disease.
According to them, the four patients were treated in private and government hospitals in Iseyin, Ibadan, Igbo-Ora and Ogbomoso.
“The report of the latest person among the four patients came in Thursday morning and it was negative. The patient was receiving treatment in Igbo-Ora when he was suspected of having contracted the virus. As we speak, I can confirm to you that there is no single case of Ebola in Oyo State. We want to assure the public that there is no single case of Ebola in Oyo State,” Dr. Gbadegesin said.
