00:00Good news out of Nigeria, where authorities say no further cases of Ebola have been detected
00:06since a woman arriving from Uganda tested positive for the virus last month.
00:12All 62 contacts linked to the patient have now completed a 21-day monitoring period without
00:19signs of infection, the country's Centre for Disease Control said on Friday.
00:24On October 20, Nigeria announced that a Swiss woman returning to Abuja after spending time
00:31in Uganda had tested positive for Ebola. Authorities said it was the same Bundibugio strain
00:38of the virus driving the latest outbreak in the DRC. The patient received treatment in
00:44Switzerland and has since recovered. Passing the 21-day monitoring period doesn't in itself
00:51mean an end to the outbreak. Nigeria will need to go 42 days without another confirmed infection
00:58before it's declared Ebola-free, according to World Health Organization protocols.
