Senegal
confirmed its first case of Ebola on Friday, as the country’s health minister
announced that a young Guinean had tested positive for the deadly virus.
Guinean health services had reported on Wednesday “the disappearance of a
person infected with Ebola who reportedly travelled to Senegal”,
Senegalese health minister Awa Marie Coll-Seck said.
She said the infected patient was a young Guinean man who was immediately
quarantined at a Dakar
hospital, where he was in a “satisfactory condition”.
The minister said “plans were being reinforced to prevent the disease from
spreading from this major case”.
The patient is a university student in Conakry
who had disappeared three weeks ago from the Guinean capital. Authorities are
trying to piece together where he went, and all the people he encountered.
It is the first case of Ebola in Senegal, which has claimed more than 1,500
lives in four other west African nations — Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and
Nigeria.
