After a confirmed case of Ebola in Abuja, the Lagos State Government has intensified its Ebola surveillance and preparedness measures, urging residents to remain calm and vigilant, according to multiple news outlets. This comes after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed an imported case of the virus in the federal capital.
According to reports from Punch Newspapers and Voice of Nigeria, the Lagos State Government has upgraded its isolation centre and strengthened its surveillance efforts. The government has also assured residents that it is fully prepared to manage any potential outbreak.
However, it is unclear when the facility in Lagos began operating at an increased capacity. The NCDC has not said when the facility began operating.
This development follows the Nigerian Economic Summit, which is set to proceed despite the Ebola case in Abuja, according to Head Topics. It remains to be seen if the event will be affected by the ongoing Ebola scare in the country.
It is essential for Nigerian residents to remain vigilant and follow the guidelines set by health authorities to prevent the spread of the virus.
