He said that the government immediately swung into action to make sure that the patient, who complained of symptoms related to the fever was treated accordingly.
“Being a proactive government, we don’t want to take chances, so we monitored with series of test carried out on the victim. We have activated our disease surveillance and notification structures with a view to detecting any case on time as well as deploying appropriate measures to prevent and control the spread of the disease,” he said.
He, however, assured that the patient had been certified free according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, hence the state was declared free of lassa fever.
