India's health ministry has confirmed that a 28-year-old Ugandan national quarantined in Bengaluru for suspected Ebola infection has tested negative for the virus. The woman was isolated in the tech hub after showing mild symptoms, a case that drew attention given the WHO's declaration of Ebola as a public health emergency of international concern. This follows recent statements by India's Health Minister that the country had no reported cases, and a confirmed infection would have been the first in South Asia since 2014. Samples were tested, and the results have now cleared the woman of the virus.
