A woman has been placed in isolation at the Royal Brisbane Hospital in Australia after returning from West Africa and developing a fever, local authorities said on Sunday (October 26).
(SOUNDBITE) (English) QUEENSLAND'S CHIEF HEALTH OFFICER, JEANNETTE YOUNG SAYING:
"An eighteen-year-old woman who arrived into Queensland eleven days ago having left from West Africa, has now developed a fever, so she's been taken to the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital where she's being assessed. She's otherwise well and she's been in home quarantine since the time she arrived into Queensland. She didn't have any known contact with anyone that was sick with Ebola virus disease but she did come from an area that had a reasonably large number of cases. So, that's why it was thought it was appropriate that she go into home quarantine when she arrived here."
The woman came to Brisbane with her family from Conakry, Guinea and got a fever eleven days into her 21-day home quarantine arrangemen
