The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has cautioned Nigerians against travelling to Uganda for now.

A statement signed by the Director-General, Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, said the warning is to enable public health authorities to determine how Ebola outbreak will be contained.

Adetifa noted that the Port Health Service of the Federal Ministry of Health has scaled-up screening of passengers returning from Uganda at points of entry and persons with recent travel history to Uganda.

He asked Nigerians to promptly call 6232 or state ministry of health hotlines for assessment and testing where symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness, vomiting, or unexplained bleeding are detected.
