Israel probes suspected Ebola case as traveler returns from DR Congo

Israel’s Health Ministry is monitoring a suspected Ebola case after a traveler who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo developed fever and headache. The potentially infected individual has been moved to Rambam Health Care Campus for isolation while initial tests are conducted (results expected within 24 hours, with a final result in about 48 hours) and contacts are being traced. The ministry stresses there are no confirmed cases yet and reiterates travel warnings and guidelines for travelers from active Ebola areas. Public action is only required if contacted by health authorities.
