being treated at another medical centre.
The World Health Organisation says that the situation in Lagos, Nigeria “looks reassuring”.
“At present, the city’s 12 confirmed

the initial case include medical staff involved in his treatment, a
patient in the same hospital, and a protocol officer
in very close
contact with the patient.”, WHO said.
