Swedish authorities emphasized already Sunday that it is highly unlikely that the young man was infected with Ebola virus. But they did not want to take any chances, and the man was taken by health workers in protective suits in Solna, just north of Stockholm.

Questions from the media meant that the government chose to send out a press release on the matter. The man has no specific Ebola symptoms except fever which occurred after traveling in an area in West Africa that are affected by the disease.

- Then we must exclude the possibility that there may be about ebola, said ?ke ?rtqvist, infection control manager in Stockholm County.

The young man is admitted to the infection clinic at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge. Here he lies on a specially decorated room where he only gets in contact with health professionals.

Sample answer came Monday confirmed that the man was not Ebola-infected.

Ebola test shows false alarm

The person taken to hospital Monday afternoon with suspected ebola is not infected, reports news agency TT.

Stockholm's head of infectious diseases said in a statement that tests turned out negative.

Suspicions of ebola were slight, but the authorities decided to be on the safe side and treated the patient at Stockholm's Huddinge hospital.

There have been at least four suspected cases of ebola in Sweden. All have turned out to be false alarms.
