31 Cases Recorded As Monkeypox Spreads To 7 Nigerian States by Stooi76(m) : 9:21 am |
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has said that 31 suspected cases of monkeypox have so far been reported in seven states across the country. The National Coordinator/Chief Executive Officer of NCDC, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, made this known on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, following the notification of a suspected monkey pox outbreak on Sept. 22, 2017 in Bayelsa, other suspected cases have been reported from six more states. He listed the affected states as Bayelsa, Rivers, Ekiti, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Ogun and Cross Rivers.
Ihekweazu said that samples had been collected from each suspected case for laboratory confirmation.
The NCDC national coordinator said that the Federal Ministry of Health, through the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), was supporting the affected states to ensure the outbreak is brought under control and to limit further spread.
