Nigeria’s Ebola index patient and her spouse have arrived in Switzerland for medical treatment as health authorities intensify efforts to prevent further transmission of the disease.

‎The development comes amid ongoing contact tracing and surveillance of people who may have been exposed to the virus.

‎The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has identified 53 primary contacts linked to the confirmed case, including healthcare workers and family members.

‎Health authorities have activated emergency response measures and are monitoring identified contacts for possible symptoms.

‎The Federal Government says Nigeria could be declared Ebola-free in December if no new infections occur within the required monitoring period.
