NIGERIA CLEARS ALL 62 EBOLA CONTACTS AFTER 21-DAY MONITORING WITH NO SECONDARY TRANSMISSION RECORDED
Nigeria has completed the 21-day monitoring of all 62 people identified as contacts of its imported Bundibugyo Ebola case, with none developing the infection and no secondary transmission recorded. The only confirmed patient was a 42-year-old woman who travelled from Uganda to Abuja and tested positive on October 20 before being medically evacuated to Switzerland, where she later recovered. NCDC says heightened surveillance and investigation of alerts will continue because regional Bundibugyo transmission remains active.
