Suspected Ebola Case in Israel: Two People Who Returned from Congo Develop Fever Symptoms
Published
The Ministry of Health announced today (Tuesday) a suspected Ebola case in Israel. According to the announcement, two Israelis who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of the Congo developed fever symptoms after their return. The ministry published the announcement officially, and it is examining the medical condition of the two.
Ebola is a rare and severe disease. It is transmitted from person to person, mainly through bodily fluids such as blood or saliva. The disease usually begins with fever, weakness, and muscle aches. In later stages, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms may appear. However, fever is a symptom of many illnesses, so it does not necessarily indicate Ebola.
The Ministry of Health emphasizes that test results will determine the final diagnosis. Until the results are received, there is no official confirmation that this is Ebola. People who have returned from countries where contagious diseases are present are tested according to the ministry's established procedures.
At present, there is no further information about the condition of the two. The Ministry of Health will continue to update the public as needed.
