Based on reports reaching us, US is
planning to screen a delegation from Nigeria and other affected African
countries billed to attend the African/American Leaders Summit on Monday August
4th in Washington DC, for exposure to Ebola.
Obama said. "Folks who are from
these countries that have even a marginal risk, or an infinitesimal risk of having
been exposed in some fashion, we’re making sure we’re doing screening.”
According to reports from Punch,
President Jonathan is among the African leaders expected to attend the event
and he will be going with his aides. Even though there's no Ebola outbreak in
Nigeria, a Liberian man died here from the virus so president Jonathan's aides
will likely be screened when they arrive the US
The presidents of two Ebola affected
countries, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Sierre Leone and Ernest BaiKoroma of
Liberia, have said they will not be attending the summit.
