A doctor returning to France from a humanitarian mission in Congo has tested positive for Ebola, the country’s first case of the virus during the current outbreak, Reuters reported citing the French health ministry.
The patient is being isolated and authorities are contact tracing, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the risk for the general European population was low.
Congo’s Ebola outbreak, which has infected more than 1,000 people and killed 267, has had the largest number of confirmed cases within the first month of any episode of the disease, the World Health Organisation has said.
