After treating a soldier on referral at 34 who came into contact with almost 16 nurses and doctors it has been confirmed the said soldier is Ebola positive.... However instead of Isolating the Medical staff who had come into contact with the Ebola Victim they were released to go home and ask to return after their incubation period... respective Authorities should please investigate this poor handling of Ebola cases at 34 as it is a recipe for mass infection of persons in the western Area.....
