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
