Morocco Denies Suspected Ebola Case

Rabat - The Health Department has categorically denied media reports that there was a suspected case of Ebola in Casablanca.

An electronic website published a false story about the first case of Ebola in Morocco in the province of Rhamna, the ministry said in a statement.

The reported case refers to a Moroccan citizen who arrived on October 5th at the Mohammed V airport, from Guinea, with high temperature, the ministry said, adding that the man was transferred to the Moulay Youssef Hospital in Casablanca to undergo the appropriate tests in accordance with the national action plan against this disease.

"The results showed that the patient is not suffering from Ebola," the ministry underlined.
