Nguyen Quoc Hung, an enrollment officer at the university, said the three Nigerians are attending the Faculty of Information and Technology at the school. One of them is a sophomore who returned to Vietnam on July 31 to continue his study while the other two are first-year students who arrived on August 8 and are staying at Hacinco dormitory building in Hanoi.
The school has allowed them to take a leave of absence for health monitoring and check-ups by doctors from the Ministry of Health, the Hanoi Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC).
The medical examinations have shown they are healthy.
Apart from health check-ups upon arrival at the airport, health officials from FPT University and the Hanoi Department of Health have been keeping a close watch on their health conditions. This monitoring will last 21 days as required by WHO and after this period, they would be cleared if they developed no Ebola symptoms.
According to the organization, the virus is directly transmitted via blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or people and indirectly via tear, urine, personal belongings and breast milk of Ebola patients.
Currently, no medicines are available for curing the disease, but doctors could only relieve its symptoms.
City launches Ebola communication campaign
* The HCMC government has ordered the Department of Education, Central Health Communication & Education Center and Preventive Medicine Department to launch a communication campaign to raise public awareness of the deadly Ebola virus and other epidemic diseases at school as the new school year is coming.

All areas of school especially kitchen and cafeteria have to be disinfected every week to ensure hygiene while water and soap must be made available for hand washing.
