No Ebola Case In Lagos, Govt Says As It Tightens Surveillance At Airport

The Lagos State Government has announced that there are currently no recorded cases of Ebola Virus Disease in the state. This statement was made as part of the government's efforts to enhance surveillance and preparedness at entry points, particularly at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The Ministry of Health is actively working through the Directorate of Epidemiology, Biosecurity and Global Health to strengthen disease surveillance and risk communication in response to the situation.
