Ebola in Wales? Patient from Barry being tested for deadly disease

Doctors in Cardiff are testing a patient for Ebola following a suspected case of the deadly virus, authorities have confirmed.

The individual, understood to be from Barry, South Wales, is being tested by medical experts in Cardiff.

The test results are expected on Wednesday, Wales Online reports.

Dr Marion Lyons, director of health protection for Public Health Wales, said: “Public Health Wales can confirm that an individual with a history of travel to West Africa has been admitted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff to be tested for Ebola.

“Based on our established evidence-based risk assessment protocol we are confident that all appropriate actions are being taken to ensure there is no risk to public health.

“It is important to remember that there has never been a case of Ebola diagnosed in Wales and the risk to the public is very low.

"The infection can only be transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of an unwell person who has Ebola.

But......but I find it interesting - in a culture where the denial of death is strong the big D is roaming wild. I only laugh when it's me.

She's been cleared of having ebola.

We can all sleep peacefully in our hammocks. Apparently, she didn't report symptoms. She just said that an incident happened, and she was exposed to it.

DONT lick the patients. How many times have you been told ??

Scumple is going to be shattered.
