A young child from Gatineau, Que., is in isolation after feeling sick upon returning from visiting family in Sierra Leone, one of the west African countries hard hit by this year?s Ebola outbreak.

Dr. Jean-Pierre Courteau, medical officer of health for the Outaouais region, said in an interview with Radio-Canada they?re being cautious because of her symptoms but couldn?t go into detail.

He said they don?t believe the child came into contact with anyone who had Ebola while in Sierra Leone.

The child is in isolation at an undisclosed hospital and there is no risk of contamination for medical staff and other people there, Dr. Courteau said.

He said testing is being done in Winnipeg and results should be known by Saturday afternoon.
