Nigeria’s Confirmed Ebola Patient Shows Signs of Recovery as 44 Contacts Are Monitored

The Federal Government says Nigeria’s confirmed Ebola patient is showing signs of recovery, with no evidence so far of community transmission. Health authorities have identified 44 close contacts linked to the patient and are monitoring them for possible symptoms. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has activated its incident management system, while health facilities have been urged to quickly isolate and report suspected cases. The patient, who recently travelled from Uganda, tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in Abuja. Officials are still tracing her movements and investigating the likely source of the infection. The government has asked Nigerians to rely on updates from recognised health authorities and avoid sharing unverified claims about the case.
