October 13, 2024
A Scottish man is being tested for Ebola after returning from west Africa but health officials said it was “very unlikely” he would have the virus.
The man was admitted to a hospital in Glasgow in the early hours after showing possible symptoms of the virus.
He was taken to the Brownlee Centre for infectious diseases at Gartnavel Hospital at about 02:20.
A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the results were expected on Tuesday afternoon.
An NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde spokesman said: “A man has been admitted to hospital this morning and is being tested for Ebola. He had come from Liberia.”
He said it is thought “very unlikely” that the man has Ebola.
A year after the outbreak in West Africa was officially declared, the virus has killed more than 10,000 people.
Most deaths occurred in the worst-affected countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
