The United Nations in Tanzania called for calm Thursday saying it was ?highly unlikely? a Burundian refugee who died after bleeding from his eyes and ears had Ebola.
World Health Organization (WHO) experts have examined the death of the man on August 10, after he fell sick in a Burundian refugee camp in Tanzania?s northwestern Kigoma region.
?It is highly unlikely that he had Ebola, as review of the case by WHO shows that it does not meet the standard case definition for the disease,? WHO and the UN refugee agency UNHCR said in a statement. ?However precautions have been taken and continue.?
