WITH the last patient under
surveillance for Ebola completing the mandatory 21-day monitoring period
yesterday, the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
said that Nigeria should be declared Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) free.
A report on Nigeria's response to the outbreak, which appears in a September 30 early release issue of CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), noted that Nigeria's success story was due to her strong emergency operations centre and polio eradication experience.
The CDC report reads: "...There
have been no new cases since August 31 and the last three patient contacts will
exit their 21-day follow-up on October 2 - strongly suggesting the outbreak in
Nigeria has been contained."
According to the MMWR, Nigeria's decision to use the emergency operations' centre to respond to the Ebola outbreak resulted in a rapid, effective and coordinated response.
