The Nigerian Center for Communicable Disease Control (NCDC) said its officials are continuing to monitor and monitor the new type of virus EG.5 and BA.2.86 that causes the corona virus.
In a statement issued by the agency, signed by the director-general of the agency, Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa, NCDC said that so far the disease has not developed in Nigeria, but the agency continues to monitor.
On August 7, the development of the EG.5 virus was announced in 51 countries, including China, the United States, Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Great Britain, France and Portugal.
The World Health Organization conducted research and tests on the virus, where it discovered many things about the disease.
