The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) warns that Nigeria is at a "moderate risk" of fresh outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease. NCDC in an update on its website, said a fresh outbreak of the disease is likely due to the proximity of Nigeria to Guinea, where there are currently Ebola cases.
The NCDC said it has an existing multi-sectoral National Emerging Viral Haemorrhagic Diseases Working Group (EVHDWG), which coordinates preparedness efforts for viral haemorrhagic diseases. Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, Director General of NCDC, assured Nigerians that several measures had been put in place to prevent and mitigate the impact of a potential EVD outbreak in Nigeria.
