Meanwhile, the Northern Regional Disease Control Officer, Fuseini Mahama has clarified that a simulation exercise on how to handle an Ebola outbreak is being misconstrued and reported as real.

“We decided to use Ebola virus condition as a simulation exercise. In itself it is really not true,” he stated in an interview with the media.
