Health officials takes the body temperature of an Ukrainian worker on the MV Pintail cargo ship, as they check for signs of the Ebola virus at the Apapa Sea Port, in Lagos, on September 29, 2014. Health officials have begun the screening of cargo ship crews transiting through the ports of Nigeria to prevent cross border transmission of Ebola through sea and cargo ports. Nigeria has cleared all patients under surveillance for the Ebola virus, the federal health ministry said on September 24, 2014. "There is nobody again under surveillance for the Ebola virus in any part of Nigeria. All those under surveillance have completed their mandatory 21-day period stipulated by the WHO," ministry's spokesman Dan Nwomeh told AFP, referring to the World Health Organization.
