Nigeria's Centre for Disease Control says it has identified two new suspected cases of Ebola. The announcement comes as health authorities work to confirm the cases and trace potential contacts to prevent any spread of the virus. Nigerians are sharing the news widely and expressing concern about a possible outbreak, recalling past Ebola responses in the country.

Nigeria's Centre for Disease Control has approved weekly payments of ₦100,000 for people who came into contact with Ebola cases and are being held in isolation. The support is intended to encourage contacts to comply with monitoring requirements, as isolation can cut off income for those unable to work. The announcement comes as health authorities work to trace and contain any potential spread of the virus.
