A Swiss woman, the wife of a diplomat, has been confirmed as Nigeria's first Ebola patient in over a decade. Switzerland disputes claims the patient visited DR Congo.
Swiss authorities stated that Nigeria's first Ebola patient in over a decade did not travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo. This assertion contradicts earlier reports from Ugandan officials, who suggested the patient contracted the disease there. The patient, identified as the wife of a Swiss diplomat, had not exhibited symptoms during transit through Uganda, according to that country's health ministry. Swiss officials confirmed the woman contracted the virus in Nigeria.
