The Federal Government has appealed to Nigerians to remain calm after a woman who
travelled to Nigeria from Ugandan tested positive for Ebola virus in the FCT. 

 

In a statement released, the Ministry of Health says it is working with the NCDC
and relevant health authorities towards taking the necessary steps to protect public
health and strengthen surveillance following the confirmation of the Ebola disease
case in the FCT.

 

> ‘’There is no need for panic. What matters is staying informed, practising good
> hand hygiene, knowing the symptoms and seeking guidance from public health authorities
> if you suspect exposure.”

 

The Ministry reminded Nigerians that Ebola spreads through direct contact with the
blood or body fluids of an infected person who is sick or has died, or contaminated
materials. It added that the viral disease does not spread before symptoms begin.

 

For reliable information or to report a suspected case, the Ministry urged Nigerians
to call the NCDC toll-free line 6232 which is available 24 hours a day, seven days
a week.
