Nepal Army has rebuffed news reports of NA personnel being held under surveillance for the suspicion of Ebola infection.
Issuing a statement on Wednesday, the NA said it has not found any Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in any of the NA staffs who have returned from Africa.
?The Ebola virus has not infected any army deployed at various peace keeping missions,? claims the NA statement. ?An officer who has recently returned from peace keeping mission in Libera was kept in isolation for observation. He has shown no signs of the disease so far.?
Some media earlier reported that two army personnel were under surveillance for possible Ebola infection.
The peace keeping force was screened for symptoms of Ebola at the airport health-desk, immediately on their arrival from Ebola affected African countries.
?The personnel are kept in quarantine for a period of three weeks, until they show no symptoms of the EVD,? adds the statement, adding that the NA is committed to abide by the government's plan to control the spread of Ebola in Nepal.:tiphat:http://www.nepalnews.com/index.php/news/37988-nepal-army-personnel-not-infected-by-ebola-na
