LIMA – Laboratory tests have ruled out the possibility that a citizen of Guinea hospitalized in Peru is suffering from Ebola, Peruvian Health Minister Midori de Habich announced on Monday.

The patient “does not show a laboratory diagnosis compatible with the Ebola virus,” said the minister at a press conference that she called to announce the negative test results.

De Habich, accompanied by officials from her ministry and the Pan-American Health Organization representative in Peru, Fernando Leanes, said that Peruvian authorities decided to quarantine and examine the 34-year-old patient, in accordance with the protocol established in this country to deal with Ebola cases.
