PRESS STATEMENT: Urgent State Action Needed as Lassa Fever Cases Rise
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has called for urgent and strengthened state level action as Lassa fever cases continue to rise during the current peak dry season (November–April).
With confirmed cases reported across multiple states and increasing infections among healthcare workers, NCDC emphasizes the need for full activation of State Incident Management Systems, strict enforcement of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures, adequate supply of PPE, improved surveillance, and stronger community engagement.
State governments are urged to prioritise outbreak response funding, protect healthcare workers, and close identified operational gaps contributing to preventable deaths.

✅Store food safely

✅Seek early medical care at the nearest health facility if symptoms occur and avoid self medication.
Lassa fever is treatable, and early detection saves lives.
