Eleven people, including a nurse who worked in Sierra Leone, were tested for the Ebola virus and with all results returning as negative, Health minister Peter Dutton said Friday.
"I want people to put things in perspective here, itآ’s not spread by people coughing ... the chances of it being spread here are next to nil. We have the ability to deal with people and rapidly test," he told reporters in Melbourne, adding that he was very glad that nurse Sue Ellen Kovack tested negative for Ebola so far.
Almost 4,000 people have died from Ebola in west Africa and Kovack was one of several Australians who have travelled to the region to help treat patients there.
