By Micheal Chukwuebuka

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says two suspected Ebola cases reported in Yola, Adamawa State, have tested negative following two rounds of laboratory testing.

A statement by the Agency notes that it is working with the Adamawa State Government to investigate the cases, which were isolated and tested.

The NCDC clarified that the index case previously confirmed in the Federal Capital Territory remains the only confirmed Ebola case reported in Nigeria.

It urged Nigerians to remain calm and rely on official government and public health channels for accurate information.

The Agency further advised anyone experiencing symptoms such as fever, severe weakness, headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea or unexplained bleeding, particularly after possible exposure, to seek immediate medical attention and provide healthcare workers with relevant travel and contact history.
