BREAKING: France Reports First Ebola Case After Doctor Returns From DR Congo [DETAILS]
A doctor returning from a humanitarian mission in Congo has tested positive for Ebola, the country’s first case of the virus during the current outbreak, the health ministry said on Wednesday.
The health ministry “confirms today the identification of a first positive case of Ebola virus disease on national territory”, it said. Contacted by AFP, the ministry specified that the case was identified in mainland France.
The patient is being isolated and authorities are contact tracing, the ministry said, adding that the risk for the general European population was low.
Congo’s Ebola outbreak, which has infected more than 1,000 people and killed 267, has had the largest number of confirmed cases within the first month of any episode of the disease, the World Health Organisation has said.
