  "summary": "The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has reported two suspected cases of Ebola in Nigeria's North-East region. Both individuals have been isolated, and contact tracing and laboratory testing are underway. However, the classification as suspected does not confirm the diagnosis, as laboratory results are required for confirmation. The NCDC has advised the public to follow strict hygiene practices and to adhere to guidance from public health authorities. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.",
