ABUJA, 11 November 2026 — The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) reported no additional confirmed Ebola cases in its 10 November update. Of the 62 contacts identified, 34 had completed follow-up and 28 remained under monitoring.
The NCDC confirmed the imported case on 20 October. The infection involved the Bundibugyo virus and was detected in a traveller from Uganda.
Why monitoring continues
The 10 November update marked 21 days since the NCDC confirmed the imported case. Each contact has an individual 21-day monitoring period. Health teams use that follow-up to detect symptoms early, and the agency continues to investigate reported alerts.
What to do after possible exposure
The NCDC advises anyone who develops symptoms after possible exposure to avoid contact with others and call its toll-free line, 6232, for guidance before travelling to a health facility. The agency also urged health workers to check patients’ travel and exposure history and promptly report suspected cases.
