A patient has been admitted to Hvidovre Hospital in Copenhagen and is now being tested for Ebola infection according to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority's guidance on the management of Ebola virus disease. The patient will remain in hospital until the diagnosis can be denied or confirmed.
Statens Serum Institut will analyse a blood sample from the patient, and the test result is expected later today. We are continuously in touch with Hvidovre Hospital and will follow up on the situation as soon as new information is available.
