The girl was travelling together with her both parents. The family arrived in an Emirates flight.
The airport authorities followed the quarantine procedures as prescribed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and also placed the girl’s parents under observation.
It is worth noting that in case of Ebola, the incubation period, or the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, corresponds from 2 to 21 days.
The 9-year-old’s blood sample was flown to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in New Delhi for testing.
UPDATE
According to New Indian Express, Dr Amar Fettle, state nodal officer for Ebola, said that the girl tested negative for the virus.
“The girl did not have any immediate ailments. She came along with her mother for the latter’s treatment in a private hospital. The girl had some problems. Hence, they decided that she would also be consulted here. That’s why they took the girl along with her mother.”
It should be recalled that Nigeria was declared Ebola free by the WHO on October 20, after 20 cases had been recorded in the country, with eight of them – lethal.
