The Government today denied any fears of Ebola virus having entered India.
The ministry of Health and Family Welfare said that the WHO had informed that one Indian passenger had travelled on the same flight with a foreign national infected with Ebola virus who was travelling from Monrovia to Lagos.
"This Indian passenger is back in India. He has been tracked and his health is being regularly monitored," the Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said, adding that the person is healthy.
However, the Ebola virus can remain dormant within a person for up to 21 days before symptoms of Ebola Virus Disease show up. The patient, as such, needs to be monitored on a regular basis.
