#Ebolavirus :4 Year Old Boy And Two Other Nigerians Taken Into Medical Isolation On Arrival In India.



A four year old Nigerian kid, and two other Nigerians aged 79 and 37 on a visit to India were taken into medical isolation on arrival in New Delhi yesterday for Ebola screening and treatment if required.
The three Nigerians were admitted at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

The three Nigerians quarantined in India reportedly had fever and their tests were being done at the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Delhi, according to a statement.


A 32-year-old Indian from Durg in Chhattisgarh who returned from Nigeria was similarly admitted to a hospital in Bhilai. His samples are also being tested at NCDC, the statement said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said air travel, even from Ebola-affected countries, is low-risk for transmission of the disease.
