Two Suspected Ebola Cases Identified in North-East Nigeria – NCDC

Two suspected Ebola cases have been identified in north-east Nigeria, and both individuals have been isolated. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) said contact identification was underway and samples were being tested in laboratories. Their classification as suspected cases does not mean they have tested positive; confirmation depends on laboratory results. The NCDC advised the public to practise good hand hygiene, improve sanitation and follow public health guidance.
