The Federal Government has advised Nigerians to avoid all but essential travel to countries with confirmed cases of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in a bid to prevent a recurrence of the deadly outbreak that struck the country in 2014, following its outbreak of Congo.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed that no Ebola cases have been reported and that it had activated heightened surveillance at points of entry and placed the health system on alert.
The Director-General of the NCDC, Jide Idris, in a statement, said that an emergency response team is in place to monitor developments, strengthen preparedness and respond swiftly in the event of a suspected case.
