Ebola Ruled Out for Woman, Officials Say
A Congolese woman who arrived in Canada and fell ill does not have the Ebola virus as feared, and the danger of her sickness spreading is “minimal,” health officials said after receiving test results.
The woman’s illness has alarmed some people since early this week, when doctors raised the possibility of Ebola and she was put into total isolation at Henderson General Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. But health officials said at a news conference that she had tested negative for the deadly virus.
The woman remained in serious condition but was showing signs of improvement.
