The GazetteSeptember 8, 2014 11:49 AM

MONTREAL ? A man who became sick on a flight from West Africa to Montreal is in isolation at Notre-Dame Hospital pending testing for Ebola.

The man, who reportedly began vomiting on the plane from Guinea, was whisked to the hospital at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday, where an intensive-care unit to deal with the deadly and highly contagious disease has been set up.

The National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg is doing the testing, and results will be available later Monday.

Notre-Dame is one of two Montreal hospitals designated to deal with suspected Ebola cases. Children suspected of carrying the disease will be treated at Ste-Justine hospital.

There are no direct flights from West Africa to anywhere in Canada-where did this gentleman transfer and on what leg did he become ill?

Patient placed in isolation on Sunday afternoon at the Notre Dame Hospital was ultimately not carrying the Ebola virus.

The results were released this morning by the Department of Health. As the procedure provides, the tests were performed at the Winnipeg lab.

Back to Guinea

Sunday afternoon, a patient was transported and placed in isolation to the urgency of the Notre-Dame Hospital, the Hospital of the University of Montreal (CHUM).

In fact, the person who sat on a flight out of Guinea vomited on board, who alerted the authorities.

Upon arrival at the Montreal-Trudeau Airport, the patient was transported by ambulance to the hospital, where he was put in isolation.

Note that there is no confirmed cases of Ebola so far in Quebec and Canada.
