The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), has initiated measures to strengthen the country’s preparedness, following the confirmation of an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in Uganda, advising Nigerians to shelve travels to countries affected by the disease.
The Centre also announced that so far, there is no case of Ebola in Nigeria.
The NCDC in the public health advisory noted that although the World Health Organisation advises against any restrictions to travel and/or trade to Uganda, Nigerians and residents are urged to avoid all but essential travel to countries with confirmed cases of the Ebola Virus Disease.
Making these disclosures in a public health advisory signed by the NCDC Director-General, Dr Jide Idris, the Centre noted that Uganda has experience in responding to Ebola Disease outbreaks, and necessary action has been initiated.
