Nigerian Nurse, Suspected Ebola Patient, Skips Quarantine To Travels 6 Hours Home

A Nigerian nurse suspected of having Ebola managed to skip quarantine in Lagos to travel nearly 300 miles to see family, officials said Wednesday. She and the 20 people she came into contact with are now under surveillance in the city of Enugu in southeastern Nigeria. Health Minister Labaran Maku said officials are now monitoring 189 people for the Ebola virus. Nigerian officials did not make it clear how the nurse traveled, but Enugu is a 6 1/2-hour drive or one-hour flight from Lagos.
