Summary
A second suspected Ebola case in Israel involves a traveler who returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo 2 days ago and developed fever, headache and diarrhea.
The patient is being isolated under highly contagious-disease protocols and will be transferred to Sheba Medical Center, while test results are expected in the coming days.
Health officials said no Ebola case has been confirmed in Israel and are tracing contacts to determine any links between the suspected cases.
Israel has stepped up monitoring since recent outbreaks in Congo and Uganda, urging people to avoid non-essential travel and to report symptoms within 21 days of return.
