Suspected Ebola Case in Cyprus

Cyprus - by Nikoleta Kalmouki - Oct 9, 2014

According to Turkish newspaper “Chavantis,” a 26-year-old student from Togo with high fever initially went to a hospital in the occupied Famagusta and was later transferred to a special unit at a hospital in occupied Nicosia, where he was put into quarantine. The blood results and other tests are expected within days.

The Ebola virus, causing thousands of deaths in Africa, has caused widespread terror. A Turkish citizen who works in Nigeria is hospitalized in Istanbul presenting symptoms similar to those of the Ebola virus, while in the US, the first patient hit by the virus, died.

Greek Health Minister Makis Voridis reported on Thursday that Greece is ready to confront any Ebola case.

Re: Cyprus - Ill student from Togo - NOT Ebola

A 26-year-old student from Africa put in isolation in the Turkish Cypriot breakaway state in the north of the island is not suffering from the deadly Ebola virus.

Health Minister Philippos Patsalis told the Cyprus Mail that he had been informed through the bicommunal technical committee on health issues that the man had tested negative for Ebola.

The Cyprus Mail understands that the 26-year-old is suffering from malaria.
