Ebola Continues To Spread. Everyone Is at Risk

Every person in the world is at risk of getting Ebola; this was stated by Nigerian government. Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu during his meeting with journalists convinced them that  the whole world is at risk of the virus. 

The Minister had also stated that Nigeria has not defeated the Ebola virus completely yet. He added that until everyone who contacted the virus is given a clean bill of health, the disease cannot be terminated. And only after the last case of Ebola is gone, will there will be no risk.

The World Health Organization is reportedly worried that approximately 20,000 people could be hit by the Ebola virus. They are deeply concerned that the outbreaks of disease will continue to spread.

On the 29 of August,  Ebola hit Senegal. The country becomes the fifth West African state affected by virus. Ebola was brought there by a young man from Guinea. Now he is on quarantine. This development occurred despite the fact that Senegal closed all borders with Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
