Congo authorities say no Ebola cases are found among passengers and crew on a quarantined river boat. More than 200 people who were placed in quarantine after a traveller with symptoms consistent with Ebola died are now being cleared based on the latest checks.
The quarantine starts on August 6 in the port of Maluku, about 65 kilometres from Kinshasa. The trigger is the death of a person who had previously been aboard the boat and who was reported to have symptoms matching the Ebola virus, prompting health officials to isolate those who may have been exposed.
Both outlets report the same core sequence: an individual with potential Ebola symptoms dies after having been on the vessel, the boat is quarantined, and authorities later state that Ebola is not detected among the quarantined group. They do not provide additional details beyond the quarantine size, timing, location, and the conclusion that no Ebola cases are found.
