A German laboratory reported Tuesday that samples taken from a Saudi man were negative for Ebola virus, the Ministry of Health announced.
The laboratory at Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine, which is accredited by the World Health Organization, confirmed earlier test results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that indicated the man was not infected with Ebola virus.
At the request of MOH, both laboratories are conducting additional tests to determine the source of this patient’s infection.
