What changed
Africa CDC is seeking the full travel history of a Nigerian Ebola patient to trace the source of her infection. The woman lives in Abuja and was born in Uganda; she spent several days there before her husband, a diplomat, travelled to join her.
Why it matters
The investigation now turns on a simple but important question: where was she, and who might she have encountered, before becoming ill? Africa CDC director-general Jean Kaseya said officials are examining her time in Uganda and her husband’s later journey to join her.
That does not establish Uganda as the source of the infection. Her complete itinerary and possible exposures have not been reported, and no additional cases have been confirmed as linked to this investigation. The travel record is therefore the next practical tool for narrowing the search.
