A UNBC assistant professor of nursing recently returned from West Africa and was tested negative for the Ebola virus at Prince George’s University Hospital yesterday.
Dr. Greg Thomas-Reilly was working on Ebola infection prevention, control and mitigation efforts in Liberia and after returning to Canada he began 21 days of symptom monitoring.
He was tested for Ebola at the hospital and according to the Ministry of Health, the test was purely precautionary.
Last week a B.C. nurse practitioner was isolated in Kelowna General Hospital after showing symptoms consistent with the virus.
There have been more than 20,000 cases of Ebola since an outbreak of the virus last year.
