Montreal hospital ends Ebola isolation after suspected case tests negative CHUM lifts emergency protocols, easing public concern and confirming no risk
A Montreal hospital has ended emergency isolation measures after a suspected Ebola case was ruled out, officials said.
The patient, a woman, arrived at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) on Thursday afternoon with symptoms that raised concern. Hospital staff quickly activated isolation procedures as a precaution.
CHUM officials said the safety measures were in place and that there was no risk to the public. Later that evening, the patient tested negative for Ebola and the emergency protocols were lifted.
