Health authorities probe two suspected Ebola cases in northeast Nigeria
The two individuals have been isolated while officials carry out contact tracing and laboratory testing.
Nigeria has identified two suspected Ebola cases in the northeast, after the country declared its first case in more than a decade on October 20.
Nigerian health authorities are investigating, and the two individuals have been isolated while contact tracing and laboratory testing get under way.
“Two suspected cases of Ebola disease have been identified in Nigeria’s northeast region,” the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement posted on X on Saturday.
A Swiss woman who had travelled to Nigeria from Uganda tested positive for the virus. She and her husband, a Swiss diplomat, were evacuated to Switzerland on Monday.
