Nigeria’s Health Ministry has confirmed its first Ebola case involving a Nigerian woman who travelled to Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo for business.
Preliminary information indicates that she transited through Uganda in early October without symptoms and developed symptoms after arriving in Nigeria. Travel through Uganda does not establish that infection occurred here. The location of exposure remains under investigation.
The Government of Nigeria is yet to provide detailed information on her travel itinerary and clinical history which will guide further investigations and any necessary contact tracing.
