The response of Nigerian health authorities in strengthening surveillance at the nation’s points of entry to prevent the entry of Ebola disease from two African countries is appropriate. Underlying the response is the Nigerian experience in handling the outbreak in 2014. It is crucial, however, that nothing is left to chance to prevent the disease’ influx from Guinea and Congo (DCR).
At present, Port Health does not need to reinvent the wheel to check Ebola, because from the 2014 episode and the COVID-19 pandemic, there are structures in place to activate. Mounting surveillance and inspection of evidence of vaccination against various diseases at the nation’s borders should be continuous.
