After Scare, Lebanese Man Tests Negative For Ebola
[Ynet] A Lebanese man who arrived in Beirut from West Africa believing he may have Ebola was reassured by doctors that he is disease free but was still taken into a hospital quarantine on Thursday as a practice run to check the country's preparedness, a health official said.
The case initially raised concerns because it was announced by the health minister, Wael Abu Faour, who said earlier in the day that Leb had quarantined a man suspected of having Ebola. The announcement came after days of warnings by the government that the country was at a high risk of exposure to the disease.
