Nigeria authorities report no new Ebola cases since a woman from Uganda tested positive last month, marking the end of a 21-day monitoring period for potential transmission. This outcome represents a significant reduction in risk compared to the initial outbreak, though the specific number of contacts monitored remains unspecified.

Key points

• No new Ebola cases detected in Nigeria since a woman from Uganda tested positive last month.
• The monitoring period for potential transmission concluded after 21 days of surveillance.

Context
