A second Sudanese national who develops fever is isolated at Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad and later tests negative for Ebola, according to multiple reports. The individual is admitted to the hospital after presenting with symptoms consistent with a suspected case, and medical teams isolate the patient as part of India’s Ebola preparedness measures. Samples are sent for Ebola testing, and the results come back negative. This follows the earlier isolation and testing of a first Sudanese national in Hyderabad, who also tests negative for Ebola.
In parallel, Telangana authorities expand response measures to manage potential suspected cases. The government establishes or uses a special isolation ward for suspected patients at Gandhi Hospital. Enhanced health screening and procedures are also in place at Hyderabad airport, where health teams monitor travellers in the context of the ongoing Ebola outbreak in affected regions. Authorities continue to treat the cases as suspected until laboratory results are available, and they maintain isolation protocols while testing is conducted.
