According to a brief on Wednesday by Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, Ebola had killed 30 out of the 109 infected persons within 35 days.
"The penetration of Ebola in heavily populated areas creates a situation of rapid spread and its associated with sustained and protracted person to person transmission" she said!
She added that Urban Ebola transmission is complex and the government will do all it takes to ensure the control of transmission in the urban settings.
As worries continue about Ebola spread in the land, the minister called out citizens to take serious the precautions, wash their hands, sanitize and put on masks if they can so as to prevent it aswell as the possibility of having a lockdown as a solution to this problem.
