Wednesday 12 Nov 2014 - 13:53 Makkah mean time-19-1-1436 Bamako (IINA) – The government of Mali confirmed the country's second case of Ebola late on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
In a statement via Twitter, Mali's Information Minister Mahamadou Camara said “prevention measures” were being taken, but gave no details on the case.
Mali became the sixth West African country to record a case of Ebola when a two-year-old girl from Guinea died in October. It has not recorded any confirmed cases since then, and 108 people linked to the girl were due to complete their 21-day quarantine period on Tuesday.
Medical officials and diplomats said Mali's new Ebola case was a nurse who had been in contact with a man who arrived from Guinea and died in late October at the now locked down Pasteur Clinic.
A medical officer, who asked not to be identified, said the nurse who had Ebola died on Tuesday evening while another doctor had been quarantined.
