Nigerian Tested For Ebola In Hong Kong by dridowu: 7:36pm On Aug 10, 2014
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
