The commissioner said though, earlier results did not indicate that the four people have Lassa fever, a second laboratory test would be carried out on them.
“In July, about seven cases of suspected Lassa fever were reported in."
“They were subjected to normal clinical appraisal and three of the seven were looking less of Lassa fever."
