Cypriot Minister of Health Philippos Patsalis claimed that travelers flying on an Austrian Airlines flight from Vienna to Larnaca are not at risk for catching Ebola, after a questionable passenger was identified.

Ebola is rapidly spreading as Greece is bracing itself for the possibility of an attack. In the framework of preparations, Health Ministry officials are meeting with representatives of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (KEELPNO) today to discuss measures being taken to deal with a possible Ebola epidemic. 

A special Ebola quarantine unit has been created in the Amalia Fleming hospital in Athens, the first such unit to be created in the country.
