Ebola Update: Liberia Desperately Searching For Ebola Victims

Liberia is desperately searching for 17 Ebola
patients who fled after an attack on a
quarantine centre in the capital Monrovia.
On
Saturday,youths wielding clubs and sticks
attacked a medical facility set up to isolate Ebola
victims.
They chanted “there is no ebola” as they carted
away equipment and personal effects of
patients .They said Ebola is a myth….
Despite the search,they are yet to find any of
the missing victims.They are now considering
sealing off the entire area which houses over 75
thousand houses
Information Minister Lewis Brown said:
“All those hooligans who looted the centre are
now probable carriers of the disease….
They took mattresses and bedding that were
soaked with fluids from the patients. To
quarantine the area could be one of the
solutions.”
We run the risk of facing a difficult-to-control
situation,” “The police had to stand down
because they were concerned not to put their
men at risk. They got a supply of protective
equipment yesterday and my expectation is that
they will redeploy today.”
