hand shaking to prevent Ebola spread
He called for the measures after the meeting of
state governors and health commissioners from
various state of the Federation Federal
Government officials & World Health
Organization Representative in Nigeria with
President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on
Wednesday.

“We have to drop our traditional behaviours like
shaking of hands and nobody should be offended,” he stated while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the meeting.
He also urged people to stop defecating and urinating in public, particularly at this time of the country’s health crisis.
He said, “This is not the time to make fast naira.
Next week will be defining for us, to know what cases have multiplied. This is not something you keep in religious house to pray. Infected
persons are not patients you can move by taxis, if they need prayers now it can be done electronically”
“We are now 99 per cent following the cases.
We need to have a 100 per cent because if we
have one infected person, it is a global risk not
just Nigeria.”

Fashola maintained that health workers should be provided with advanced equipment to
protect them in their first line of duties.
The WHO Representative in Nigeria Voiz,
commended President Jonathan for calling the meeting of governors and commissioners of health towards fighting the disease.

Meanwhile Governor Fashola recently revealed that five Nigerians out of the ten people that
tested positive to Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) are in stable condition.
