LONDON, Ont. - Two people under investigation for the Ebola virus have been placed in isolation at Victoria Hospital in London, Ont.
London Health Sciences Centre says in a statement that the pair were placed in a negative pressure room at the hospital just before 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The statement said the pair were not admitted through the emergency room and that "all safety precautions are fully in place to contain risk."
The hospital has not released the names of the two patients and London Health Sciences Centre says there is "no impact to patient and visitor activity."
Earlier Tuesday, health officials said a patient at a Montreal hospital had tested negative for Ebola.
The regional health authority said the patient had begun exhibiting symptoms after returning from an Ebola-stricken part of Africa.
When will we find a way to curtail this disease. I am remorseful for victims and their family as this disease invade the different countries. I hope those two patients are having unrelated sickness. I have families in that part of the world, keep safe everyone.
I hope this does not turn out like the nurse in USA who was accused of having ebola and locked in hospital for days and than found out she did not have the virus. I think there is no cure apart from being clean and cleaning body, and not sharing anything and in Africa it is happening from the bush meat they are used to eating. No vaacines have been approved as of yet so will be interesting to see how one will be made and from what hope it does not involve drugs or people turn to it to get cured or managing it with that.
