Enugu begins surveillance at airport, council areas to curtail Ebola spread

On October 21, 2026, the Enugu State government announced the initiation of intensified surveillance measures at the Enugu Airport and various council areas to prevent the spread of Ebola. This decision comes in response to a recently confirmed case of Ebola in Abuja and the ongoing outbreak of the disease in other parts of Africa.

Officials stated that the surveillance efforts are aimed at monitoring and controlling any potential cases of Ebola entering the state. The measures include health screenings and public awareness campaigns to educate residents about the disease. The current situation remains under close observation as authorities work to ensure the safety and health of the community.
