Libya's National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has warned of an Ebola outbreak in several African countries, confirming that Libya has recorded no confirmed or suspected cases of the virus and that the country's epidemiological situation remains stable.

In a statement, the center said it was monitoring developments through national and international surveillance channels, with epidemiological surveillance, investigation and rapid response teams on continuous alert. It added that health monitoring measures had been strengthened and preparedness increased to deal with any suspected cases.

The center urged people to avoid unnecessary travel to affected areas, follow strict preventive measures and immediately report any suspected symptoms after returning from abroad.

It explained that the virus spreads through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of infected individuals, contaminated objects and surfaces, or infected animals. It also warned against contact with suspected cases and participation in unsafe burial practices.
