The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control(NCDC) has placed Nigeria at ‘moderate risk’ of Ebola outbreak as Guinea battles the contagion.
The NCDC made this known via its website, stating that the decision was based on the proximity of Guinea to Nigeria and other West African Countries, as well as other indicators.
Guinea experienced outbreak of the Ebola on February 14, and cases and deaths were reported in the N’zerekore region of the Country, Dgovscoops reports.
The cases were detected among seven people who had attended the burial of a nurse on February 1, NCDC said.
