The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has intensified preparedness activities since the confirmation of Ebola outbreaks in the region, according to Premium Times. The NCDC has raised the risk of Ebola importation into Nigeria, though Nigeria remains case-free of Ebola, as reported by Premium Times. Cross River State has activated the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) on alert mode, according to Daily Post. The state has strengthened surveillance activities and active case searches across all 18 local government areas, particularly in border communities, and is closely monitoring travellers from affected countries, as reported by Daily Post. Health authorities in Cross River State are investigating any unexplained illness or death associated with symptoms linked to Ebola, including bleeding, according to Daily Post. The latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is unfolding in a conflict-affected region where insecurity, displacement, and fragile trust are complicating containment efforts, according to AllAfrica.
