Ebola Cover up? Almost all Turkish pilgrims informed about Ebola threat and under the medical supervision. (Taz)

Almost all the pilgrims who returned from Saudi Arabia to Turkey were informed about the threat of Ebola and coronavirus (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, MERS), the Turkish news agency Anadolu said Oct. 23.

Reportedly, almost all the pilgrims who returned from the hajj, an annual Islamic pilgrimage to the Saudi city of Mecca, are under the medical supervision of doctors at home.

A Turkish citizen who returned from the hajj has been today admitted to a hospital in Istanbul with an Ebola suspicion.

Thus, the number of those admitted to hospitals in Turkey with an Ebola suspicion reached to six people.

Five of them are the hajj pilgrims, and one is a Turkish student studying in Somalia.

Earlier it was reported that 45 special hospitals were allocated in 36 provinces of Turkey in case of detection of people sick with Ebola. Special hospitals are allocated mainly in the provinces with international airports. In particular, three hospitals were allocated in Ankara, and two special hospitals in Istanbul.

According to the latest Ebola Response Situation Report from WHO, a total of 9936 confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have been reported in five affected countries (Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Spain, and the United States of America) and two previously affected countries (Nigeria and Senegal).

A total of 4877 deaths have been reported, according to the report.

The outbreaks of EVD in Senegal and Nigeria were declared over on 17 October and 19 October 2014, respectively. EVD transmission remains persistent and widespread in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.  Hmmmm.....Why do i get more and more the feeling Turkey is covering up Ebola cases?
