Two suspected Ebola cases in Adamawa State have tested negative after two rounds of laboratory testing, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) confirmed. The individuals, who showed symptoms including fever, vomiting, fatigue, headache and bleeding gums, were isolated at the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital in Yola after the Adamawa State Public Health Emergency Operations Centre received the report on 30 October. The NCDC, working with the Adamawa State government, said samples were collected and public health measures were promptly activated.
The agency stated that there is currently no laboratory-confirmed Ebola case in Adamawa, and the confirmed case in the Federal Capital Territory remains Nigeria’s only confirmed case. The NCDC Director-General, Jide Idris, urged the public to remain calm, avoid spreading unverified information, and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms, especially after potential exposure. Contact tracing and monitoring continue as part of ongoing surveillance efforts.
