Giving an explanation for the reduction in Ebola cases, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu affirmed that “The total number of deaths due to EVD (including the index case) remains five, while the total number of those treated and discharged is also five. Total number of EVD patients currently under treatment in the isolation ward is now three. One of the three persons currently under treatment is for imminent discharge after necessary protocols. The need for confirmation about the actual total number of confirmed Ebola patients and those under treatment at the isolation ward became necessary following conflicting reports in the media.”
