Belgian minister of public health: "Suspected Ebola case hospitalized"


Belgian minister of public health: "Suspected Ebola case hospitalized" HT: Crof.

Lucie Lecomte found this report on GlobalMedia.mx: Bélgica en alerta ante posible caso de ébola. [Belgium on alert against possible Ebola case] Excerpt, with my translation:
Un trabajador humanitario está siendo mantenido en cuarentena en un hospital de Bruselas por sospecha "real" de haber contraído el virus del Ébola, informó hoy el ministerio belga de Salud Pública. 
A humanitarian worker is in quarantine in a Brussels hospital on "real"  suspicion of having contracted Ebola virus disease, the Belgian minister of public health said today.
El hombre, un colaborador de la organización internacional Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF), ha estado en contacto con enfermos de ébola en un país de África Occidental antes de regresar a Bruselas, hace cerca de dos semanas. 
The man, a collaborator of the international organization Medecins Sans Frontieres, has been in contact with Ebola cases in a West African country before returning to Brussels almost two weeks ago.
"Su caso responde a las tres condiciones de la categoría de riesgo elevado: ha estado en un país afectado por la enfermedad, ha estado en contacto con la enfermedad y tiene fiebre", explicó a la prensa belga el portavoz del ministerio, Sven Heyndrickx. 
Ministry spokesperson Sven Heyndrickx said: "His case meets the three conditions for high risk: he has been in a country affected by the disease, he has been in contact with the disease, and he has a fever."
La persona, cuyo nombre o la edad no han sido revelados, ha empezado a sentirse mal el jueves por la noche y ha sido inmediatamente hospitalizado.
The person, whose name and age have not been revealed, had begun to feel ill on Thursday night and was immediately hospitalized.
Lucie has also found a hospitalized suspected case in Gatineau, Quebec, right across the river from Ottawa. But it seems much less likely that the Belgian case.
