“The hospitalized patient from Primorye [Ussuriysk] has no specific symptoms typical for Ebola. These are the preliminary test results, which were carried out in the Novosibirsk lab,” the source said.
The source added that the patient’s condition has now stabilized, and that he is currently undergoing treatment in the Ussuriysk local hospital.
On Sunday, a Red Cross worker, suspected of having Ebola, was hastily transported to a hospital in Ussuriysk. The patient, who had previously visited Africa, arrived by plane from Moscow to Vladivostok earlier the same day.
Current Ebola outbreak began in West Africa in the end of 2013, mostly affecting Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The deadly Ebola virus has so far claimed the lives of more than 8,800 people with more than 21,000 cases of the disease registered, according to the WHO.
