Hong Kong - A Nigerian man is being tested for the deadly Ebola
virus in Hong Kong, amid global fears over the potential spread of a
disease which has claimed nearly 1 000 lives in west Africa this year.
A city government spokesperson confirmed that the 31-year-old man
is currently quarantined at a hospital and is being tested to
determine whether he had been infected.
"So far as we know this is a suspected Ebola case. There will be
results of the preliminary testing tonight," the government
spokesperson told AFP, adding the man is being treated at the city's
Princess Margaret Hospital.

A densely populated city of some seven million people, Hong Kong is
particularly alert to the spread of viruses after Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome killed almost 300 people eleven years ago.
On 30 July the Hong Kong government said it would quarantine as a
precaution all people from Ebola infected areas who showed any
symptom of the disease such as fever, vomiting or diarrhoea.

Last week a woman who showed Ebola-like symptoms after returning
from a holiday in Kenya tested negative for the virus.

Local broadcaster RTHK reported that the Nigerian man had arrived at
the southern Chinese city from his home country on Thursday and
was vomiting before he was hospitalised on Sunday morning.
Nigeria along with Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been hardest
hit by the latest epidemic, which the WHO has called the worst
outbreak of its kind in four decades.

Nigeria - the most populous nation in Africa - confirmed two new
cases on Friday of the often fatal haemorrhagic disease, bringing the
total number of infections to nine, including two deaths.
The World Health Organisation has declared the epidemic an
international health emergency, as countries scramble to impose
measures to prevent any spread of a contagion that has claimed
almost 1 000 lives.

Before you comment they said "Tested" o! There will be results of the preliminary testing tonight. I know they are a lot of ignorant people in this forum . Anyway i just hope it isn't Ebola or Nigeria and the rest of West Africa would be lockup.

hmn

why not report comfirmed case instead of routine test?

This how this fake epidemic is being used for propaganda

It gives the impression of an epidemic whilst in reality the confirmed cases remains insignificant.
