A viral disease warning has been issued to Nigerians. The warning advises vigilance and preventive measures to minimize infection risk. This caution follows an imported case confirmation in another country.

The case is connected to an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a result, national surveillance has been increased.

No cases have been confirmed in Nigeria as of a recent date, but risk assessment and preparedness are underway with government authorities and partners. Further details can be found through the relevant disease control agency.
