On Thursday night 2 October, a patient was hospitalised at Hvidovre Hospital and tested for Ebola virus. A blood sample tested at State Serum Institute ruled out the suspicion.
”The Danish Health and Medicines Authority's guidelines were followed. The case does not impact our general risk assessment, and we still assess that the risk of Ebola virus disease reaching Denmark is very low. We monitor the development, and we can see that our emergency preparedness is working” says Søren Brostrøm, Head of Division.
