New Delhi, Nov 23 (IBNS): The 26 year old Indian male, who had undergone Ebola treatment in Liberia and presently quarantined at Airport Health Organization Quarantine Centre in New Delhi continues to be symptom free, a government statement said.
His urine and saliva samples tested at National Centre for Disease Control on Saturday have been found negative for Ebola Virus. 
 
However, he would continue to remain in this quarantine facility till all his samples are tested negative. 
 
Union Secretary (Health & Family Welfare) Lov Verma held video conference with Principal Secretaries of twenty four States / Union Territories (UTs). 
 
The need to strengthen surveillance at ports and airports was emphasized. States were informed that Central Teams would again be visiting designated Ports and Airports to review the passenger screening. 
 
The Principal Secretaries of States/UTs were also requested to conduct surprise checks of the Airports to identify gaps in screening, if any. 
 
As States have now trained master trainers, States were asked to conduct training of District Rapid Response Teams. A special mention was made to sensitize private practitioners and members of mass media. 
 
Further the States were requested to conduct mock drills involving the airports and isolation facilities and in particular on donning and taking off personal protective equipments.
