Several cases of Lassa fever has been reported among health care workers in Nigeria, it is therefore important that, staffs in health-care settings should always apply and maintain standard infection prevention and control precautions when caring for patients.

I think that the reason why many health care practitioners in Africa not only Nigeria now are susceptible to various deadly diseases including Lassa fever is because of poor health care facilities and to some extent negligence from some of them.

Also, our government claim to be doing free health services that is actually free off the service.My word of advice for everyone is to stay off rats, exposed or conterminated food and maintain good health hygiene.
