Lassa fever kills two in Ondo

Lassa fever

The Ondo State Government said on Tuesday that two people have been killed by Lassa fever in the state.

The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Dayo Adeyanyu, said this at a Lassa fever prevention stakeholders’ meeting organised for health workers, religious groups, opinion and traditional leaders in Akure, the state capital.

The commissioner said one of the suspects came into the state from the neighbouring Edo State.

Adeyanju, however, said 31 persons had been placed under surveillance in order to prevent the spread of the disease in the state.
