A US citizen is being tested for the Ebola virus in Ghana, which has had no confirmed cases of the virus in the current West African outbreak.
The man who is believed to have visited Guinea and Sierra Leone in recent weeks.has been quarantined at the private Nyaho Clinic in the capital, Accra, health officials say.
The virus has so far killed more than 460 people since it broke out in Guinea in February and spread to neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone.
It is the world's deadliest outbreak to date and there is no cure for Ebola.
The US embassy in Accra said it had been informed that a US citizen was being tested but would not give any more details, Reuters news agency reports.

DeleteToday, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed
ReplyDeletethe shell to her ear and screamed. There was
a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I
had to tell someone!

ReplyDeleteI think the nigerian government should just control or even restrict migration movements with these countries involved because we don't have the capacity to handle such.
ReplyDeleteAfrican nations need to invest more in scientific research and development. I call on African nations rich and not so rich to invest in science.
