After Nigeria has so far effectively contained the huge spread of the
deadly Ebola virus, United States’ Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is quite impressed by the methods Nigeria used.
So,
following the discovery of the first case of Ebola Virus diagnosed in
the United States, the CDC has sent its staff to study how Nigeria
contained the deadly disease.
A statement released by CDC Director
Tom Frieden stated that Nigeria’s “extensive response to a single case
of Ebola shows that control is possible with rapid, focused
interventions.” In addition to visiting Nigeria, CDC officials will also
visit Senegal to study its containment model.
“The best practices
in Nigeria and Senegal suggest the U.S. should monitor all individuals
who may have been exposed to Ebola and establish a dedicated management
and response system,” Frieden said.
