Israel Reports No Ebola Cases After Patient Returns From Congo
Israel's Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that tests for the Ebola virus on a patient hospitalized under suspicion of infection have come back negative. The patient had recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an Ebola outbreak is ongoing.
The ministry emphasized that no confirmed cases of Ebola have been diagnosed in Israel to date. Health officials are continuing to monitor the Ebola outbreak in Congo and are maintaining national preparedness measures.
As a precaution, the public is advised to avoid non-essential travel to areas with active disease transmission. Travelers returning from affected regions who develop a fever or other unusual symptoms within 21 days of their return are urged to contact the Ministry of Health hotline at *5400.
