According to the statement made by the Israeli Ministry of Health, a person who came from the Democratic Republic of Congo four days ago applied to Rambam Hospital in Haifa with complaints of fever and headache. After the initial evaluations, the patient was quarantined due to suspicion of Ebola.
FILIATION STUDIES HAVE BEEN STARTED
The Ministry announced that the results of the tests performed for definitive diagnosis are expected to be available within 48 hours. It was also reported that contact tracing studies were initiated to identify the people the patient came into contact with against the possible risk of contamination.
SPECIAL DISINFECTION PROCESS WAS CARRIED OUT
Israeli state television KAN also published footage of the incident and stated that the emergency aid teams responding to the suspicious case were subjected to a special disinfection process.
NUMBER OF DEAD EXCEEDS 200
On the other hand, the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) announced that the number of people who lost their lives in the Ebola epidemic, which was declared in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo in May, exceeded 200.
A RARE SPECIES
While health officials state that the current outbreak is caused by the “Bundibugyo” virus, a rare type of Ebola, they point out that there is no approved treatment or vaccine for this variant.
