Authorities in Singapore sent a woman from Nigeria into a hospital isolation unit today on suspicion that she might have Ebola, the Straits Times reported on Thursday. The woman, in her 50s, was believed to have flown into Singapore recently and arrived at a hospital emergency department with a fever, the newspaper said. She was immediately isolated and transferred by ambulance to a communicable diseases centre, the newspaper said.
UPDATE: Professor Philip Choo, TTSH's chief executive officer, told The Straits Times that it the woman has been discharged. "We saw a patient with a history from Nigeria," he said, but her detailed history revealed "no contact with any suspect or confirmed patients."
