– There is no high-risk cases, but follow all procedures, says infectious disease physician Håkan Ringberg newspaper.
According to Håkan Ringberg man came from a country where Ebola occurs and he has a fever.
– But otherwise, there is not really much going for Ebola.
Jimmy Gottfridsson, Press Secretary at Region Skåne, says the man himself contacted the medical on Friday afternoon.
– We followed the mechanisms in place for this type of diseases so he came directly to the infectious diseases clinic and became available in an isolation room.
The staff was prepared for the reception and the security level was high when the man came to the hospital, according Gottfridsson. The man was tested quickly for Ebola and samples have been sent to Stockholm for analysis.
– We hope to get a reply within 24 hours, says Jimmy Gottfridsson.
If there is a clear clinical picture pointing to Ebola, the patient is sent to a special unit at Linköping University Hospital, but in this case the risk assessment was lower.
