As we continue to be happy about the Ebola-Free status of Nigeria, lets not forget that other countries that are still suffering the outbreak as the number of confirmed Ebola cases worldwide has passed the 10,000 mark.
This is according to the World Health Organisation, WHO who have warned that this figure might even be higher than is being reported due to many people in some parts of Africa refusing to come forward for treatment because they are scared.
Unfortunately, this current outbreak is the largest ever seen and has hit Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Spain and America.
Just this Thursday, authorities confirmed that the disease had spread to Mali, the 6th West African country affected, and on the same day a new case was confirmed in New York, in a doctor who recently returned from Guinea.
Mali shares a border with Guinea and the disease arrived there in a 2 year old girl who travelled from Guinea with her grandmother by bus and died 2 days ago.
