Lagos State sets up Isolation Wards for Ebola victims

Lagos State Government has built Isolation Centers for patients with symptoms of the Ebola virus at the Mainland Hospital in Yaba. The isolation ward is situated at the back of the hospital and are tents under which patients are camped and fenced in with planks.
