Saudi Man Dies Of Ebola-like Symptoms In Saudi Arabia by Nobody: 10:29pm On Aug 06, 2014 |
The Saudi man who was suspected of contracting the disease died of cardiac arrest, according to the website of the country's health ministry. The 40-year-old is said to have returned from a recent business trip to Sierra Leone. The ministry's website said he was being tested for Ebola, but did not say if the tests had concluded that he had the disease. The website said the man had been treated in an isolation ward and would be buried according to Islamic tradition, while following precautions set out by world health authorities. Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia stopped issuing visas to Muslims from several West African countries, amid concerns that visiting pilgrims could spread the disease. Meanwhile, two US aid workers who contracted Ebola in Liberia appear to be improving after receiving an unapproved medicine ahead of their evacuation back to the US. But it is not clear if the ZMapp drug, which has only been tested on monkeys, can be credited with their improvement. Leading infectious disease experts have called for experimental treatments to be offered more widely. The meeting of the WHO's emergency committee is focusing solely on how to respond to the Ebola outbreak. If a public health emergency is declared, it could involve detailed plans to identify, isolate and treat cases, as well as impose travel restrictions on affected areas. A WHO spokesman said: "We can't speculate in advance what the committee members are going to decide in advance. #http.m.bbc.com/news/health-28678699
