Ebola: No confirmed case in Bayelsa — Commissioner

The Bayelsa State Government has confirmed no cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) within the state, according to Dr. Seiyefa Brisibe, the Commissioner for Health. This assurance was given during a press conference on Saturday, following the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention's (NCDC) confirmation of an imported EVD case in Abuja on October 20, 2026.

The state government has intensified disease surveillance, emergency coordination, and public health awareness across all eight local government areas to ensure early detection and prompt management of any potential EVD cases.
