South Africa has reportedly declared its first
suspected case of Ebola. A spokesman for the South African Province of DA
Gauteng, Jack Bloom, said Thursday that there is a suspected case of the deadly
virus at the Rahima Moosa Hospital.
“The patient is from Guinea and is presently being
kept in isolation. If it is a confirmed Ebola case then the patient will be
transferred to the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital which has been designated
to treat Ebola with all due safeguards,” he said, as quoted by the Citizen,
a South African tabloid.
Gambia,
which has apparently yet to see an Ebola case, has suspended all fights from
Ebola ravaged Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to a document from
the Gambian Transport Ministry seen by AFP.
