PALPABLE fear has gripped workers and patients of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) in Calabar, Cross River State over a suspected case of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Although management of the hospital denied the development, it, nevertheless, shut down the Accident and Emergency ward after the Ebola virus scare hit the health institution yesterday. Investigation by Daily Sun revealed that the scare was induced by the death of a patient, who was brought in from nearby Akpabuyo community in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of the state for treatment on Tuesday evening, but reportedly died at about 2 a.m. yesterday, of symptoms related to the deadly virus. The patient, whose identity could not be ascertained as at press time, was said to have vomited so much blood and bled from other sensitive parts of his body.
