A man who entered Guinea-Bissau from neighbouring Guinea the day after the border reopened is being treated for suspected Ebola, a medical official said on Friday.

The traveler was running a temperature and put under surveillance as he tried to pass through the Fulamori border crossing on Wednesday.

He took advantage of lax security among border guards to escape observation and boarded a bus headed for the eastern city of Gabu, where he was apprehended.

“He had a temperature higher than 39 Celsius (102 Fahrenheit). It is for this reason that we have isolated him pending further analysis of his case,” said Gilda Helena De Almeida Vieira, head nurse at a health post in the western village of Buruntuma.

Eight fellow passengers were quarantined, said Vieira.
