Three passengers from Ebola-hit Liberia taken to Delhi hospital

New Delhi, Aug 26 (IBNS): Three passengers, transiting through Delhi to Mumbai, were isolated and taken to a government hospital here on Tuesday for tests to determine whether they have Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The trio was travelling from Ebola-hit Liberia, reports said.

Adequate precautionary arrangements were made both at the Delhi and Mumbai airports to screen as many as 112 stranded Indians who are scheduled to arrive from Liberia.

Sources said the aircrafts, carrying passengers from and around Liberia, are first being taken to a remote bay after landing where all the passengers will have to undergo a screening process at the step-ladder exit.

The passengers without Ebola symptoms will be cleared and immediately shifted to the main terminal for immigration and customs clearance. But those with symptoms suggestive of EVD will be shifted directly to the designated hospital in ambulances from the bay.

Sources said Ethiopian Airline, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Jet Airways and South African Airways are supposed to fly with these passengers to Delhi and Mumbai.
