The Enugu State Ministry of Health has said it was worrisome that some individuals had been making claims of having either physical or spiritual cure for the Ebola virus disease.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. George Eze, advised the state residents and Nigerians to disregard such claims.
He said in a statement issued on Friday, “It is not only false and malicious, but misleading. The fact remains that at this moment, there is no certified drug for the cure of Ebola Disease.
“The Federal Ministry of Health directs that individuals with such claims should forward it to a scientific committee set up by the Federal Government.
“Members of the public are encouraged to continue to observe strict personal hygiene, regular hand washing and limit body contact to mitigate the further spread of the virus.”
