@draizident: 🚨 EBOLA ALERT: NIGERIA HAS BEEN PLACED ON HIGH ALERT 🚨 My people, please pay attention to this one. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has placed Nigeria on high alert following the continued spread of Ebola Virus Disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And this is not a small outbreak. As of September 23, the DRC had recorded 7,890 confirmed cases and 3,799 deaths, with the outbreak now affecting seven provinces: Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tshopo, Haut-Uele, Bas-Uele and Sud-Ubangi. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, a type of Ebola virus for which there is currently no approved specific vaccine or treatment. Now, before you panic, let me make something very clear: Nigeria has NOT reported an Ebola outbreak from this development. The high alert means our health authorities are increasing surveillance and preparedness to prevent the virus from being imported into Nigeria and, if a case is detected, to respond quickly. Travellers coming from countries with active or relevant Ebola transmission may also be subjected to enhanced screening, health declarations and follow-up. So please, don’t panic. But don’t ignore this either. If you develop symptoms such as sudden fever, severe weakness, headache, muscle pain, vomiting or diarrhoea, particularly after recent travel or possible exposure, seek medical attention and disclose your travel or exposure history to the healthcare worker. And please, don’t circulate fake information or WhatsApp voice notes about Ebola. I will keep you updated as this situation develops. Stay informed. Stay safe. ❤️ Sources: NCDC, WHO #tallnigeriandoctor #draizident
