Following the confirmation of an Ebola outbreak in Uganda, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has heightened its preparedness efforts and advised Nigerians to avoid non-essential travel to countries with confirmed cases of the disease.
Although no cases have been reported in Nigeria, the NCDC is monitoring the situation and strengthening surveillance at points of entry. The public is urged to follow preventive measures such as good hand hygiene, avoiding contact with infected persons, and refraining from consuming bush meat. The NCDC reassured that vaccines and therapeutics are available for some strains of the virus.
