Ebola toll rises to 4,033 - WHO

2^min

The number of people known to have died in the worst Ebola outbreak on record has risen to 4,033 out of 8,399 cases in seven countries by the end of Oct 8, the World Health Organization said on Friday.

The death toll includes 2,316 in Liberia, 930 in Sierra Leone, 778 in Guinea, eight in Nigeria and 1 in the United States. The data include one case each in Spain and Senegal but no deaths. A separate Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo has killed 43 people out of 71 cases.

Earlier on Friday, Czech Health Minister Svatopluk Nemecek said tests showed that a Czech man hospitalized with symptoms of Ebola does not have the virus.

"Laboratory tests did not confirm Ebola," he told Czech Radio, confirming earlier media reports. "There is a suspicion of malaria and further checks need to be done. The essential thing is that it is not Ebola."

The 56-year-old Czech businessman who had recently traveled in Liberia was put in isolation at a Prague hospital on Thursday with signs of the virus, which has killed nearly 4,000 people in West Africa since March in the largest outbreak on record.

Fears that the Ebola outbreak will spread globally rose on Thursday as the health of an infected Spanish nurse deteriorated and a British man who died in Macedonia was being tested for the virus.
