The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) yesterday released a Public Health Advisory for Healthcare Workers on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness and readiness.

As of Thursday, the NCDC said Nigeria had not recorded any confirmed case of the disease, associated with the current regional outbreak.

However, in the advisory signed by the Corporate Communications Division, the agency warned that Nigeria faces a high risk of importing the virus due to increased international travel, porous borders and heavy population movement across the region.
