On November 13, 2026, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention concluded its 21-day monitoring period for 62 contacts linked to the country's first Ebola case in over a decade, with no secondary transmissions reported. The index case involved a Swiss woman diagnosed on October 20 after travel to Uganda, who has since recovered in Switzerland. Although all contacts and seven state alerts tested negative, WHO protocols require a 42-day countdown before an official end to the outbreak.
