So the Federal Minister of Health
has said we have no new confirmed Ebola case for now in Nigeria and that is great news.
There seems to be just one confirmed case and she is the isolation centre in
Lagos. There is still a lot of people that are under quarantine/survelliance and hopefully
they would not present with the Ebola virus symptoms.
However till then most organizations
are taking some precautions to help protect themselves and the public at large.
A friend said that at her place of work they now check their temperature with the
infra red thermometer at the office's entrance. In some banks, the cashiers are wearing
gloves and face masks. Some have at the entrance soaps, chlorine water and hand
sanitizers. They also have the infra red thermometers to check the temperature
of their staff.
In my church yesterday, I saw that
at the entrance one of the traffic officials was pumping a small amount of hand
sanitizers for members (old or young) and that there has been adjustment to the
way we now take Holy Communion.
