The Ministry of Health & Wellness on Saturday indicated that while some travellers are in quarantine, there is no case of Ebola in Jamaica.

The ministry says it continues to carry out surveillance at ports of entry, ensuring that person who had travelled to or through an Ebola-affected country in the 21 days prior to landing in Jamaica are quarantined.

It said eight persons have been placed in self-quarantine with monitoring by the ministry since May 25 and none are displaying symptoms of the illness. This means transmission would have been unlikely and they would not have posed any risk to other passengers.
