The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has declared new suspected Ebola cases in the country.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports that the NCDC made this disclosure on Saturday, while advising the public to maintain good hand hygiene and follow guidance from public health authorities.
“Two suspected cases of Ebola disease have been identified in Nigeria’s North-East region.
“Both individuals have been isolated, contact identification and listing is ongoing, and laboratory testing is being conducted.
“Being classified as suspected cases does not mean they are confirmed Ebola cases; confirmation is subject to laboratory results.
“The public is advised to maintain good hand hygiene, practise enhanced sanitation and follow guidance from public health authorities,” the NCDC disclosed.
According to the agency, further updates will be provided as verified information becomes available on the new suspected cases.
