Swiss Diplomat’s Wife Recovers From Ebola After Nigeria Evacuation

A woman who tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in Nigeria has recovered and was discharged from Geneva University Hospitals on November 11. The Uganda-born wife of a Swiss diplomat was evacuated from Abuja to Switzerland with her husband on October 26 after Nigeria confirmed her infection; her husband remained symptom-free and his quarantine was lifted. Nigeria’s disease control agency identified 62 contacts, of whom 52 completed monitoring and 10 remained under observation as of November 11. Nigeria reported no deaths linked to the case, and experts are investigating how she contracted the virus.
