Health workers across the country are also being trained and equipped to identify, isolate and manage suspected Ebola cases safely.
The ministry added that public health emergency coordination and rapid response systems had been activated, alongside intensified public education and community awareness campaigns.
Ebola Virus Disease is a severe viral illness transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected persons or contaminated materials and surfaces. Symptoms include fever, weakness, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea and, in severe cases, bleeding.
The Ministry of Health urged the public to remain calm and adhere to preventive measures, including regular handwashing, avoiding contact with bodily fluids of sick persons, and reporting suspected symptoms promptly to the nearest health facility.
The ministry also advised against handling dead bodies without proper protection and cautioned the public to avoid eating sick or dead wild animals.
