Patient in suspected Ebola case in Hong Kong tests negative

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A patient being treated in a Hong Kong hospital in the city's first suspected Ebola case has tested negative for the virus, Hong Kong's health department said on Sunday. The 32-year-old man had traveled to Hong Kong from Nigeria, where a state of emergency has been declared over the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The patient was put in isolation after going to a hospital earlier on Sunday as he developed diarrhea and vomiting but no fever. He is currently in a stable condition, the health department said in a statement. Hong Kong went on full alert for Ebola late in July. (Reporting by Grace Li; Editing by Stephen Powell)
