The Lagos State government said on Monday that it had reached a total of 59 persons who had physical contact with Sawyer and screened 20, none of who tested positive for Ebola.
The other 15 came in contact with Sawyer at the airport and include three ECOWAS staff (driver, liaison and protocol officer), the Nigerian Ambassador to Monrovia, Chigozie Obi-Nnadozie, two nursing staff and five airport passenger handlers.
