Ireland is testing a dead person who recently returned from Africa for the Ebola virus, the Health Service Executive (HSE) of Ireland said on Thursday.
Appropriate infection control procedures are being put in place in the community and at the mortuary in the north-west county of Donegal where the person’s remains lie, pending the outcome of laboratory tests, the HSE said.
The test results are expected late on Friday and the risk of transmission of any disease is considered to be extremely low, it added in a statement.
