EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SUMMARY

• Since September 2017, Nigeria has continued to report sporadic cases of monkeypox (MPX).

• On May 26 th 2022, a monkeypox National Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) was activated in response to the risk assessment conducted, which put Nigeria at high risk for a Monkeypox outbreak.
The essence of the activation was to improve the coordination of related preparedness/response activities across the country.

• There were four (4) new positive cases in Epi week 23, 2022 from four (4) states – Lagos (1), Delta (1),
Oyo (1) and Nasarawa (1).

• Errata: The SITREP for Epiweek 22 wrongly captured the case count for Epiweek 22 as 10 instead of 11 ( 1 case from Niger state was missed), and the total for the year as of Epiweek 22 was captured as 31 cases instead of 32 cases.
