The result comes after the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention warned last month that the continent's Ebola outbreak remains far from contained. The outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is recorded as the deadliest Ebola wave on record and has already killed thousands of people.
尼日利亚当局表示，将继续保持严格的区域监测，若出现新的疑似病例将迅速进行后续检测。邻国也在收紧措施，以防疫情跨境传播。
