The Israeli Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that a young man who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo is under isolation due to suspected Ebola infection. The individual developed a fever after his return, prompting health officials to place him in isolation and transfer him to the Sheba Medical Center, designated for handling high-risk infectious disease cases. The ministry stressed that this is currently only a suspicion and that no confirmed Ebola cases have been diagnosed in Israel. This follows two previous instances in the past two months where individuals were hospitalized with suspected Ebola, but the diagnosis was later ruled out.
