The Federal Government has clarified that the recently detected XEC COVID-19 variant, reported in Australia and 29 other countries, has not been identified in Nigeria.

Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Kachollum Daju, emphasized that a leaked letter urging hospitals to heighten alert systems was a precautionary measure, not a cause for alarm.

The letter, dated December 5, 2024, advised health authorities to monitor patients with COVID-like symptoms and collaborate with stakeholders to share data and enforce enhanced surveillance protocols.

Daju highlighted the importance of vigilance during the festive season as international travelers enter the country, stressing the need to prevent potential outbreaks.
