He, however, added that there was an Implementation of Lassa fever Environmental response campaign in high burden states by the Federal Ministry of Environment.
Ihekweazu stressed that Lassa fever is a disease spread to humans through food or household items contaminated with rodent urine or faeces.

“It has an incubation period of between six and 21 days and can be transmitted through contact with an infected person via bodily fluids and excretion.
He advised Nigerians on a more effective personal hygiene, storing grain and other foodstuffs in rodent-proof containers, and disposing of garbage far from their homes to help sustain clean households. (NAN)
