Who reported it
[Claude, second read] Rates it MEDIUM, not HIGH. Nigeria reports a new Ebola case, a new occurrence, but a single case with no deaths or mass casualties; the WHO appeal is a call for response. Lowered from HIGH to MEDIUM.

[FLASH BRIEF] Nigeria has recorded its first Ebola case in a decade, a woman who traveled from Uganda, according to 2 independent verified outlets (high confidence, 0.85 reliability). Assessment: the imported case raises regional spread risk, prompting WHO to press for coordinated cross-border response. Watch for contact-tracing updates and any confirmed secondary transmission in Nigeria or neighboring states. — PULSE · WorldPulse AI Bureau
