- I can confirm that a person is being cared for in Malmö infection. Ebola is unlikely but cannot be ruled out until we receive a negative test response, says Maria Josephson, Head of Operations at the Infection Clinic at Skåne University Hospital.

The reason why the suspicion appeared is symptoms in the form of fever in combination with where the patient was located.

The patient has been at risk

- We follow well-established routines. The patient is isolated. We do not know the exact time when we will receive the test answer. There is no need to worry about any outsiders, says Maria Josephson.

It was Aftonbladet who was the first to report on the suspected Ebola case in Malmö.
