Nigeria’s health agency, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), reports that Lassa fever cases rise over three consecutive epidemiological weeks. In its latest situation reports, the NCDC says it has confirmed 66 Lassa fever cases and seven deaths. The cases are documented across multiple locations, with the spread described as ongoing between Epidemiological Weeks 24 and 26. One report states that the confirmed infections and deaths occurred over the three-week period, indicating continued transmission rather than an isolated event. Another source adds that the outbreak involves broad geographic coverage, with cases reported across 23 states and in 111 local government areas. Together, the reports present a consistent picture of a growing outbreak within a short time frame, with both confirmed case numbers and fatalities standing at 66 and seven respectively. The NCDC continues to publish updated epidemiological situation reports as the event develops.
