The World
Health Organization (WHO)
has given a clean chit to
West Africans regarding the
deadly Ebola virus. All tests
on suspected carriers of the
virus have proved negative.
The WHO had ordered tests
on all those who were in contact with a Liberian refugee, who had tested positive early
this month. The news about
the Liberian man living near
the border between Liberia
and Ivory Coast having contracted the virus had fuelled
fears of a possible new outbreak of the killer disease.
Nearly 245 people were
killed in Kikwit, Zaire, early
last year by Ebola, which
causes high fever and internal and external bleeding.
