Ebola report on social media is false, says Health Ministry

The report being circulated on social media such as Facebook, that an Ebola case has been detected in the country, is false.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah censured the parties who spread such rumours as irresponsible, saying there had been no quarantine cases related to the disease.

"The risk of Ebola into Malaysia is very low. Don't spread news that are false," he tweeted yesterday.

Ebola is a haemorrhagic fever, often fatal to humans, and other primates.
It has caused more than 1,000 deaths in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea in West Africa since March. – Bernama
