Ebola Scare In India: Chhattisgarh Reports 3 Suspected Cases

After Rajasthan and Hyderabad, Chhattisgarh today reported three suspected cases of Ebola involving foreign nationals.

According to media reports, the three have been isolated in Durg and placed under a 21-day quarantine as a precaution.

Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal announced that the state is fully prepared to handle any potential Ebola virus infection, stressing that hospitals and quarantine facilities have been put on alert and necessary arrangements are in place to ensure public safety.

Speaking to reporters, Jaiswal said the three individuals under observation were nationals from African countries and were being monitored in line with health protocols.

He added that no Ebola infection had been confirmed so far and that none of the individuals were showing symptoms of the disease.

"We have been fully prepared across the state at every level for a month now. The three individuals placed in isolation in Durg are nationals from African countries and have been quarantined for 21 days as a precautionary measure. So far, tests have not confirmed the presence of the virus, nor are they exhibiting any symptoms," he said.

Two Suspected Cases In Hyderabad

Earlier, two people in Hyderabad who returned from Sudan were isolated.

A Sudanese national, a student in his 20s, with a fever, was admitted to the state-run Gandhi Hospital. The student's condition improved, and he had no fever on Friday morning. His attendant was advised to stay in isolation at home, according to media reports.

Another Sudanese national, who arrived at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport a day earlier, was also shifted to the isolation ward of Gandhi Hospital for further tests after he was found to have a fever during thermal screening at the airport. The 35-year-old, who had come to Hyderabad for knee surgery, had no fever as of Friday morning and was asymptomatic, officials said.

Samples containing oral and nasal swabs have been collected and will be sent to the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) for testing. Test reports of both individuals are awaited.

Rajasthan Woman Isolated

Meanwhile, Rajasthan has also isolated one woman who returned from Uganda following symptoms. 

During routine health screening at the airport, she exhibited symptoms associated with Ebola infection. The health department was immediately informed, and she was placed under special observation.

While she has displayed symptoms similar to Ebola infection, confirmation can only be made after laboratory testing. The results are awaited.

All suspected cases have been linked to travel to Ebola-affected countries such as Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.
