Nigeria’s two suspected Ebola cases test negative

Public health authorities in Nigeria have confirmed that laboratory tests for two suspected Ebola cases in the country’s northeastern region have returned negative. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention announced that following two rounds of testing, the individuals, who had been isolated while officials conducted contact tracing, do not have the virus. Health officials stress that a single previously reported case involving a traveler remains the only confirmed infection in the country, as regional surveillance continues amid the ongoing multi-country outbreak centered in Central Africa.
