--------------------------------------------------------- |
|
SUMMARY - There has been an update on the Lassa Fever outbreak |
|
in the country of Nigeria. There has now been 156 deaths with |
|
857 infected within the date range of January through April 28, |
|
2024. The states of Ondo, Edo & Bauchi have been hardest hit. |
|
NOTE - It is not known why there is a discrepancy between |
|
numbers of infected between the two articles. The difference is |
|
concerning and warrants further investigation. One possibility |
|
is that many of them were false positives but that is only |
|
speculation. |
