Ebola: Rivers schools may not resume yet

RIVERS State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker, yesterday, said schools in the state may not resume the same time with those in other states because of Ebola Virus Disease, EVD.

Parker said at the moment, there were about 340 persons under surveillance in the state, adding that the state will want to be very certain of the situation before schools are allowed to resume.

Meantime, Deputy Managing Director, Total E&P, Port Harcourt district, Mr. Nicholas Brunet, has described the outbreak of EVD in some West Africa countries as a huge challenge to the world.
Brunet spoke while donating an ambulance and two pickup trucks to the government on behalf of the oil company.
