Suspected cases in Spain test negative
Print Edition
ALL four suspected Ebola cases admitted to hospitals in Spain have tested negative in a first round of tests, the government said yesterday.
They include three men who arrived recently from affected African nations and were hospitalized on Thursday, said Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz Santamaria.
All four will be tested a second time in the coming days, she added.
The suspected cases comprise a passenger who arrived in Madrid on Thursday from Nigeria via Paris who had started shaking during the trip, and a missionary who came recently from Liberia.
A Red Cross worker who had traveled from another badly-affected country, Sierra Leone, also tested negative at a hospital on Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands.
Two people who live with the Red Cross worker were quarantined as a precaution.
The fourth person to test negative was a man transported in the same ambulance used to take an infected Spanish nurse, Teresa Romero, to hospital.
