       SUMMARY - The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention
       has issued a press release, stating that it has not detected the
       recent Covid variants EG.5 & BA.2.86 in it's country as of
       August 26, 2023. The agency considers Covid-19 "...a problem for
       those at high risk – the elderly, those with underlying chronic
       illnesses, especially hypertension, diabetes, those on cancer
       treatment, organ transplant recipients, and those whose immune
       systems are suppressed for one reason or the other..."
       NOTE - In order to avoid confusion, please note that this press
       release is for the country of Nigeria and not Niger. Niger has
       recently been in the news due to a government coup.
