NHS Ban Transportation Of Corpses Across Borders
 
Nigeria's Health Ministry has banned the transportation of corpses across national and state borders, an attempt to halt the Ebola outbreak. 

Federal State Minister for Health in northern Kano State, Khalliru Alhassan, who made this known, explained that people who die of Ebola will have to be buried in the community where they die, with no option for the body to be transported back to their home. 

Mr Alhassan said the move will especially hit Nigerians dying in Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone. 

Two people have died of Ebola in Nigeria. 

Seven others are infected with the virus, while six suspected cases are yet to be confirmed. About 70 people are under surveillance. 

Meanwhile, Spanish Ebola patient, Miguel Pajares ,who was infected in Liberia is set to be treated in Madrid with the experimental drug ZMapp. 

Doctors requested an exemption to import the drug, from Geneva which has only been tested on monkeys. The drug is already at the hospital where the 75-year-old priest is receiving treatment.
