New Delhi: Days after an Indian national was quarantined at the Delhi airport after traces of the virus were found in his samples, the Health Ministry today has added seven more airports for screening for the disease.
Apart from the 18 airports already under screening, the government today added Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Gaya in Bihar, Vizag in Andhra Pradesh, Nagpur in Maharashtra, Bagdogra in West Bengal and two other airports, Health Ministry sources said.
On Wednesday, Health Minister JP Nadda had said that a 26-year-old man, who arrived in India from Liberia on November 10, is in isolation as precaution.
"It was a case of high risk patient who had already undergone treatment for Ebola. When he came to India, he was kept under observation. That person is kept in isolation and situation is being closely monitored. We are cautious and there is no need to panic. The situation is under control," Mr Nadda said on Tuesday.
