Good news out of Nigeria where authorities say no further cases of Ebola have been detected since a woman arriving from Uganda tested positive for the virus last month.
All 62 contacts linked to the patient have now completed a 21-day monitoring period without signs of infection, the country’s Centre for Disease Control said on Friday.
On October 20, Nigeria announced that a Swiss woman returning to Abuja after spending time in Uganda had tested positive for Ebola. Authorities said it was the same Bundibugyo strain of the virus driving the latest outbreak in the DRC. The patient received treatment in Switzerland and has since recovered.
