The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has announced that it identified two suspected cases of Ebola disease in Nigeria’s North-East region.
Both individuals have been isolated as health authorities commence contact tracing and laboratory investigations.
The suspected cases are undergoing laboratory testing to determine whether they have contracted the disease.
Contact identification and listing are also ongoing as part of efforts to prevent possible transmission.
Authorities state that the classification of the individuals as suspected cases does not mean they have tested positive for Ebola, noting that confirmation will depend on laboratory results.
