He was isolated at William Osler Health System’s Brampton Civic Hospital, but health officials explain that the move was purely precautionary given the patient’s travel history.
Dr. Eileen de Villa with Peel Public Health said the patient was showing fever and other flu-related symptoms. He however added that there had not been diagnosis yet.
In a release Friday night, Ontario Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins said:"I am aware that we are currently testing a patient who recently travelled from West Africa. Initial signs and symptoms of Ebola are similar to many more common diseases.
"One such disease relevant to African travel is malaria. There are currently no confirmed cases of Ebola in Ontario."
