Health authorities in Hyderabad swiftly isolated a Sudanese national after he was detected with fever upon arrival at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) early on Thursday, triggering heightened vigilance amid global concerns over the ongoing Ebola outbreaks in parts of Africa.
The passenger, according to The Hindu, a man in his 30s, arrived from Ethiopia and had recent travel history to Uganda and South Sudan regions reporting Ebola activity. He was identified during routine thermal screening by the Airport Health Officer (APHO) as part of enhanced surveillance measures for international arrivals.
According to the report, the traveller had been experiencing fever for the past two to three days but did not exhibit other symptoms commonly associated with viral haemorrhagic fevers. As a precaution, he was immediately isolated and shifted to Gandhi Hospital in Secunderabad, the designated Ebola nodal centre in Telangana.
Health officials have repeatedly clarified that the case is not being treated as a confirmed or even suspected Ebola infection at this stage. The referral was made purely as a precautionary measure due to his travel history and detected fever.
