A South Korean healthcare worker feared to have contracted Ebola while based in Sierra Leone tested negative in a preliminary test for the deadly virus at a hospital in Germany, medical officials there said Sunday.
The worker, whose identity has been withheld, is in stable condition and is not showing any symptoms of the virus, officials at Charite University Medicine Berlin said. But the patient requires further monitoring since test results only become conclusive six to 10 days after exposure to the virus, they said.
