A single confirmed Ebola case has brought Nigeria's health authorities to high alert in Abuja, with contact tracing already underway across the capital.
So far, 44 close contacts have been identified and are being monitored. That number could shift as investigators work through the patient's recent movements and interactions.
Abuja residents will want to watch for official updates as this situation develops, because 44 contacts is just the opening count.
