Nigeria’s health ministry has confirmed a case of Ebola in Abuja, the nation’s capital, marking a spread of the outbreak in western Africa. The case involves a woman who recently travelled from Uganda and began exhibiting symptoms on October 7th. She was hospitalised in Abuja four days after symptoms appeared and subsequently tested positive for the Ebola virus. The exact date of her arrival in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, remains unknown. This confirmation raises concerns about potential further transmission within Nigeria, prompting health officials to initiate response protocols. Authorities are working to trace contacts and contain any potential spread of the virus. The situation is being closely monitored to prevent a larger outbreak.
