Patient in Ottawa with Ebola-like symptoms cleared of diagnosis

Two people with Ebola-like symptoms were in isolation after showing up separately at hospitals in Ottawa and Belleville on the weekend. One patient arrived at The Ottawa Hospital’s General campus on Sunday and was immediately placed in isolation. The patient had recently visited a West African country where Ebola has been reported. Monday evening the patient was cleared of the Ebola diagnosis when test results came back negative. The Belleville patient who fell ill after making an airport stopover in Sierra Leone is still waiting for test results. Doctors in Belleville say the man is not in critical condition and he is at an extremely low risk of the disease.
