A patient in Glasgow, UK, is being tested for suspected Ebola virus after being hospitalized, with the hospital unit reportedly placed in lockdown and sealed from the public over fears of possible spread, according to Israeli media citing international reports. The case comes against the backdrop of heightened global vigilance following a series of suspected and confirmed Ebola cases linked to travelers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 20, Israel's Health Ministry investigated several suspected Ebola cases among returnees from Congo, all of which were later cleared. France confirmed its first Ebola case of the current outbreak on June 24, involving a doctor who had returned from Congo. The Glasgow patient's condition and test results have not yet been disclosed.
