NIGERIA CONFIRMS FIRST EBOLA CASE IN MORE THAN A DECADE AS 44 CONTACTS ARE PLACED UNDER MONITORING IN ABUJA
Nigeria has confirmed its first Ebola case in more than a decade after a woman who recently travelled through East Africa tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain in Abuja. The patient is in isolation and receiving treatment, while authorities have identified 44 contacts, including healthcare workers and close contacts, for monitoring. Nigeria is currently treating the infection as an imported case rather than confirmed community transmission. The exact location where the woman contracted Ebola remains under investigation, with Uganda disputing suggestions that the infection necessarily originated there.
