The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has said Nigeria has not recorded any confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), urging citizens to avoid spreading misinformation about the disease.
In a public health advisory issued on Wednesday, the agency said surveillance and preparedness activities were ongoing nationwide amid concerns over a regional outbreak.
The NCDC warned Nigerians to remain calm but vigilant, stressing that unverified claims circulating online could trigger panic and confusion.
Dismissal of common myths
The agency addressed several misconceptions about Ebola, including claims that the disease was already spreading widely in Nigeria.
