The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) has confirmed that the patient who was recently admitted to Erasmus MC with Ebola symptoms, is not infected with the virus. This has been determined by the results of specific tests.

The patient was admitted to Erasmus MC on Tuesday, December 9th for assessment. The patient had visited an Ebola affected area and developed symptoms upon his return. He was treated in a specially designed isolation room.
