Both patients were isolated while contact tracing and lab testing continued, and officials later said the samples were negative after two rounds.
- On Saturday, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention identified two suspected cases of Ebola Virus Disease in the North-East region, with both individuals immediately isolated as investigations begin.
- This development occurs 11 days after Nigeria confirmed its first case of Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo strain, marking a potential escalation in the outbreak.
- Rapid response teams have been deployed to affected states to trace contacts and contain potential spread, while both individuals remain isolated as laboratory testing proceeds.
- Confirmation of the cases remains pending; officials await laboratory results to determine if the individuals test positive, as suspected classification does not constitute positive diagnosis.
